Tkinter bind of class -- help

[Cindy Huyser]

I've created a class that contains a number of Canvas widgets inside
frames.  When I import this class and instantiate it in my main program
I put it inside a frame.  

What I would like to do is to get x,y coordinate information on events
(either <Button-1> or <Motion>) that occur in the area occupied by the
class instance so that I can display detail information in another area
of the main window.  At first, I tried to use bind() on the class
instance, but received an error.  I have tried callbacks from the frame
in which the object resides, but find I only get event information for
that area unoccupied by the object; I have tried looking at information
stored in a member variable of the class, but have found the response
unacceptably slow.

Any suggestions for solving this problem would be greatly appreciated by
this newbie Tkinter programmer.
