event.target is whatever object called dispatchEvent(). It stays fixed through the capture and bubble phases of event dispatching.
event.currentTarget is the object whose event listeners are being processed. It changes during the capture and bubble phases, but will always be an ancestor of the target. - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 1:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] dispatching an event from an itemRenderer IIRC, the event.target changes to the last object catching the event.
