[flexcoders] Getting error when trying to get id of label when adding evt listener

[timgerr]

Hello all,
I am getting this error when I add an event listener like this to a
lable and then calling the event.target.id.  Here is the error:

#1069: Property id not found on mx.core.UITextField and there is no
default value

Here is the code:
import mx.controls.Label;
                        private function WTF():void
                        {
                                var lbl:Label = new Label();
                                lbl.text = 'Testing measdfasdfas';
                                lbl.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,DOME);
                                lbl.id = 'KKSKS';
                                addChild(lbl);
                        }
                        private function DOME(evt:MouseEvent):void
                        {
                                trace(evt.target.id);
                        }


I get the error when the evt.target.id is called, I am not sure why
this error is being called.  Is there another way to get the label's id?

Thanks,
