Here are two possibilities implementable today.

- put a Script in the ProtoDeclare.  solely give it an initialize()
 method that outputs an event.  this is triggered once the ProtoInstance
 is loaded.  the output event can be IS/connected to the proto interface
 for use in the scene.

- depending on the resource involoved, might also use a LoadSensor within
 the ProtoDeclare itself and similarly expose that output.

no help here..  we really do need a lot more examples using SAI.

all the best, Don
