Flux (alt), TabBarIOS, and Listeners and tabs that have not yet been touched / loaded
<p>I've got a problem that I'm sure has a simple solution, but I'm new to React and React Native so I'm not sure what I'm missing.</p>

<p>My app has a TabBarIOS component at its root, with two tabs: TabA and TabB. TabB is subscribed to events from a Flux store (I'm using alt) that TabA creates. TabA basically enqueues items that TabB plays. This part of the code is fine and works as expected.</p>

<p>The problem is that TabA is the default tab so the user can use TabA an enqueue items, but because TabB hasn't been touched/clicked the TabB component hasn't been created so <em>it's listener hasn't been registered</em>. Only when TabB is pressed does it get created and correctly receive events.</p>

<p>So how can I ensure the TabB component gets created when the TabBarIOS component is rendered? Do I need to something hacky like set the active tab to TabB on initial load and flip it back to TabA before the user does anything?</p>
