In my humble opinion I do not think this is what he needs. He should not be
referencing target, but instead he should reference currentTarget.
If you are adding a listener, the handlers e.currentTarget will point to the
object that you added the listener to,
This behaviour can not emulated precisely because there is no way for us to
set the target and currentTarget properties. This is done by internal
EventDispatcher code.
The EventDispatcher code works something like this:
- check if the target property of the event has been set, if not set it

this.basicNews.removeEventListener(RepeaterEvent.CLICK,
