In general it is probably better, and more common, to pass the event and
let the method decide what it needs from it:
<mx:Button id="IAMAButton1" label="validate" click="getHandler(event)" />
private function getHandler( event:MouseEvent ):void {
trace(event.target.id);
}

OK I'm still new to Flex, but as I've been playing with it all day, I
think I can answer this.
Your click function is coded in such a way that you've ignored the
event coming coming in. Yah, "getHandler" gets called on click, but
there's some more details you could get when it gets clicked.
Here's how I'd do it:
<mx:Button id="IAMAButton1" label="validate"
click="getHandler(event.target.id)" />
private function getHandler( id:String ):void {
trace(id);
}
Or you could pass in the whole target: click="getHandler(event.target)"
and get it in the getHandler(target:Button) by doing trace(target.id);
That help?
