Have you checked the event.target AND event.currentTarget? They are all the same? Why are you using that event.
ChildExistenceChangedEvent.CHILD_ADD and ChildExistenceChangedEvent.CHILD_REMOVE are the best events in containers to listen to child and and remove events. You would listen to those events from the ViewStack, you will have a event.relatedObject property that will give you the actual child instance that was added.
