Assuming that your event handler is a method of some component, you can use 'this' inside the handler to get a reference to that component. (You can also directly access any of the component's instance variables from inside your event handler.) Since you've probably declared the ArrayCollection and the collectionChange handler in the same component, the owner is simply 'this'. - Gordon

I have a custom Object with an ArrayCollection as one of its property. I added a COLLECTION_CHANGE listener on that ArrayCollection. In its handler function, I need a reference to the object that contains the ArrayCollection. Yes, I could've had the object as a global instance so I can access it directly in the function, but another caveat to this is there could be several of these objects, and looping through them one by one to find if they own a particular ArrayCollection might not be a choice. Is there another way to somehow obtain a reference to the ArrayCollection owner's object? Thanks!
