Question

In my program i am required to create buttons and their listeners dynamically. Is there a way to identify which button triggered the event. Each button does contain a unique text, but I tried using ‘this’ to access the text but not successful. Please help
Code piece provided:

for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
   subjectCode="MTOO"+(i+1);
   var subjectBtn:MovieClip=new subjectButton();
   subjectBtn.y=y+50+pos;
   subjectBtn.x=60;
   subjectBtn.subjCode.text=subjectCode;
   subjectBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displaySubjectAttendance);
   _subList.addChild(subjectBtn);
   pos+=140;
}

Answer 1

// This is how I will access the text in the event handler:

function displaySubjectAttendance( event:MouseEvent ):void {
    subjectButton( event.currentTarget ).subjCode.text
}
