Rails - Feb 2009 - render js from another controller

Hi all,

In my GamesController I try to render create_or_update.js that is
stored in the events view dir. Apparently Rails alwayslooks in the
games view dir.

Is there a way I can force Rails to look in the events view dir?

class GamesController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @event = Game.new(params[:game])
    respond_to do |format|
      if @event.save
        format.js { render :action =>
''../events/create_or_update'' }
#doesn''t work
      end
    end
  end
end

Thanks

Excerpt from Rail docs on the render method
-------------------------------------------
Rendering a template

Template rendering works just like action rendering except that it takes 
a path relative to the template root. The current layout is 
automatically applied.
  # Renders the template located in 
[TEMPLATE_ROOT]/weblog/show.r(html|xml) (in Rails, 
app/views/weblog/show.erb)
  render :template => "weblog/show"

  # Renders the template with a local variable
  render :template => "weblog/show", :locals => {:customer =>
Customer.new}
-------------------------------------------
>         format.js { render :template =>
''events/create_or_update'' }
I think this is the right way to do it.

On second thought maybe that should be
         format.js { render :template =>
''events/create_or_update'',
:layout => false }
