[flexcoders] How can I reference the particular item I am using?
Hi everyone,This post title isn't all that descriptive but I couldn't think of a better one. The question is pretty straightforward though. I think it's best explained with an example. Let's say I have an image... mx:Image source="../pictures/banner.jpg"/Now, let's say that if I click the banner, I want to do something with, say the source, like pass it to a function. I could do something like... mx:Image source="../pictures/banner.jpg" click="SomeFunction('../pictures/banner.jpg')"/BUT, I want to know if there is a way to do the same thing without hardcoding in the source again (for my application, the source is a variable, that's why...so I can't hardcode it). I'm looking for something similar to... mx:Image source="../pictures/banner.jpg" click="SomeFunction(this.source)"/ // ERROR - doesn't workIt seems like something that I should be able to do, but I just can't figure out how.Thanks in advanceCharles

My guess would be to give the image an
ID...
mx:Image
id="myPic"source="../pictures/banner.jpg"
click="someFunction({myPic.source})"
I doubt the syntax is right, but I think that's the right
idea...
