Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - A simple questions
This sentiment is not uncommon but I still disagree. There are many instances when I want to know which element is dispatching the event. As stated, using currentTarget exclusively means you can only get a reference from the instance to which the listener is attached. Doing this all the time practically negates event cascading. I think they both have their purposes and should be used accordingly.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - A simple questions
I use event.target in the current application I'm developing.
It's nice in MouseEvents for determing what is currently under the mouse
and not what dispatches the event.

the event.currentTarget property contains a reference to the instance at
which you registered the event listener. event.target refers to the class
that dispatches the event.
In this case there is no difference between .target and .currentTarget,
but
in future cases you might encounter problems. The cases where you would
use
event.target are so rare that I would urge everyone to allways use
event.currentTarget.
