Thanks Pat,
Sorry I used a bad example earlier, yes I could do that with events but
I meant like using it in other properties that
"event" is not available. .
Here's a better example situation where I'd wish for a shortcut "self"
reference to each component.
For example if I wanted to assign the current component's height in a
Binding expression for the current component's width property.
<mx:CheckBox width="{self.height}" />
