Event Bubbling Custom Object not inheriting from control

Question

One of the new things flash flex and xaml have are ways which
the event easily bubbles up to a parent that knows how to handle
the event. Similar to exceptions travel up until someone catches
it.
My goal is to use the frameworks event system on custom
objects. My custom objects are:
ApplicationConfiguration
through composition contains:
SecurityCollection which contains many or no SecurityElements
and
FileSystemCollection.cs which contains many or no
FileSystemElement objects
ect ect basically defining the following xml file with custom
objects.
[code]
<ApplicationConfiguration>
<communication>
<hardwareinterface type="Ethernet">
<ethernet localipaddress="192.168.1.2" localport="5555"
remoteipaddress="192.168.1.1" remoteport="5555" />
<serial baudrate="115200" port="COM1" />
</hardwareinterface>
<timing type="InternalClock" />
</communication>
<filesystem>
<add id="location.scriptfiles" value="c:\\" />
<add id="location.logfiles" value="c:\\" />
<add id="location.configurationfiles" value="c:\\" />
</filesystem>
<security>
<add id="name1" value="secret1" />
<add id="name2" value="secret2" />
</security>
<logging EnableLogging="true"
LogApplicationExceptions="true" LogInvalidMessages="true"
CreateTranscript="true" />
</ApplicationConfiguration>
[/code]
basically these custom objects abstract the xml details of
accessing attributes, writing content out of the higher application
layers.
These custom objects hold the application configuration which
contains the users options. The gui application uses these
parameters across various windows forms, modal dialog boxes ect.
The gui has a modal dialog that allows the user to modify these
parameters during runtime.
basically i manage: load, store, new, edit, delete of these
configuration files using my custom objects.
Where would event propagation help in custom objects like
described above?
ConfigurationSingleton.getInstance().ApplicationConfiguration.CommunicationElement.Hardwar eInterfaceElement.EthernetElement.RemoteIPAddress
=
System.Net.IPAddress.Parse(this.textBoxRemoteEthernetIpAddress.Text);
The EthernetElement should propagate a changed event up to
the parent ApplicationConfiguration which would persist this to the
registry, db, file or whatever backend.
currently this logic is maintained else where. I serialize
the root node which compositely serializing the nested nodes and i
check of the serialization is different from that in the backend
… This tells me if the dom was modified. It works but i would
like an event driven system.
how should i implement bubbling using custom objects?
3 implementation ideas:
1) A simple way is to implement a singleton event manager:
EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742806.aspx
I like this idea but how can you tell which object is nested
in who… this way the event can be stopped and discontinue
propagation?
2) If i use binders as discussed in Apress’s book:
Event-Based
Programming Taking Events to the Limit
basically a binder connects the events between seperate
objects together… although it would work for my app, I would
like a more generalized approach so i can reuse the event system on
future project.
3) how does flash flex handle this..
objectproxy.as?
http://www.gamejd.com/resource/apollo_alpha1_docs/apiReference/combined/mx/utils/ObjectPro xy.html#getComplexProperty()
>Provides a place for subclasses to override how a complex
property that needs to be either proxied or daisy chained for event
bubbling is managed.
how does these systems all work....? Reflection ?
this way i can simulate this on my own custom classes.
Thanks!

I have a strong sensation that the OSMF project is quite dead.
no new submits since 2010, the contact form on the offical OSMF
project website http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/
returns a PHP error.
and many unanswered questions about OSMF in this forum.
i think it would be wise to not use OSMF if possible, although
I'm also stuck with it since we are utilizing HDS/PHDS
protocols which are utilized in the framework.
otherwise its quite a head-ache.
I'm unable to get to a video element coming from a proxied element
that is being produced via an HDS connection.
and haven't found any solution that works.
