RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: How do I get the localId from an event?

["Koch (US), Warren R" <wa...@boeing.com>]

The handler I have is a general one servicing about 30 checkboxes.  In Flex I could determine the id of the object (event.currentTarget.id) and do things based on which one it was.  I just figured it would be here too.

I'll do it some other way.

You can't. localid is internal, and you should need it (unless others say the opposite).
to get the instance in an event you have "event.target"

I've got a simple check box and handler

<b:CheckBox localId="Check" text="check1" change="DisplayChange(event)"
selected="true"/>

private function DisplayChange(event:Event):void{
 var item:String;
 item = event.currentTarget.localId;
}

I was hoping the string item would equal "Check" but I get back null.  How
can I determine the localId of the element that fired the Event?  Is there a
listing somewhere of the Event properties?  Am I using the wrong Event type?
