Hi Rick, Both will work, but you don't need the binding (curly) braces for events (click). This is a common mistake; one that I've made myself. In essence, when you use the curly braces to bind, you are creating an event listener; usually to a variable. When the variable changes (except for arrays), the binding mechanism will automatically update any properties that are bound to the variable. This works great for properties and styles, but is un-necessary for events. Simply by using an event in an mxml tag, you are already doing the same thing; creating an event listener. When the event is dispatched, do something; done. Sometimes binding is confused with just referencing properties and methods.
