Every event has two things; target and type. These are the "who" and "what" of the event. Depending upon the event, there may be other properties that you can access as well.
Who dispatched the event is 'event.target'. What type of event was dispatched is 'event.type'. I assume this is Flex 1.5 development because you're still using the Delegate class in your event dispatcher? To dump the properties of an object, you would do something like: "for (var i in obj)" where 'i' is the property and 'obj' is the object. Or you could use some of the debugging tools like Inspect Window by Christophe Coenraets <http://coenraets.com/index.jsp> or the Echo Console from the FAST framework <http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/fast_userguide.html>.

Can you tabDetails.selectedItem.label as well. // My Dynamic tab var newTab = tabDetails.createChildWithStyles(chatPanel2, 'HelloTab' + hello, { label:'HelloTab' + hello, title:'winTitle', height:200, width:550, fred:42 }); //My event Listener newTab.addEventListener("click", mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, onClick)); My problem is I don't know how to gather the label. function onClick(event) { debugTxt.text += "onClick: event.target " + event.target + " event " + event.target.label + "\r"; } Is there a way dump the event object or find out what the user clicked on?
