One way is to use .parent, because the RadioButton is a child of VBox so that VBox is its parent.
Another way is to use the fact that if you give the VBox tag an id like id="vb", then you can refer to the ith VBox as vb[i]. And you can determine what value of i to use by using the .instanceIndex property of the RadioButton that you're processing.

Hi All, This might be a simple question, but I have no clue: For example, I use mx:Repeater to create a list of radioButton, each inside a vBox, so the code is like this: <mx:RadioButtonGroup id="myRG" itemClick="selectMyRadio(event)"/> <mx:Repeater id="myRP" dataProvider="{myList}"> <mx:VBox name="{myRP.currentItem.value}VB" > <mx:RadioButton value="{myRP.currentItem.value}" label="{myRP.currentItem.label}" groupName="myRG" /> </mx:VBox> </mx:Repeater> what i want to do is, when user selects one radio button, i want to use its VBox to do something, how to i get the vBoxobject in the function? private function selectMyRadio(event:Event):void { // so i can get the selected radio button value: event.currentTarget.selectedValue // now how to get the vbox object from the application by using that value? the vBox name is: value+"VB" } thanks!
