referencing button label in click function

[skippylou]

So I have a button in a Flex 3 project, that calls an AS function of mine when clicked. I want to pass the button's label as the parameter name to the function, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is the example:

<mx:Button label="blahblah" click="myFunction(this.label);"/>

Can "this" not be used in the way that I am using it? Any other thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Scott

i think you can access the buttons label by casting the
event target property to Button. then you should be able to access
your buttonlabel inside the callback.

private function myCallback(e:MouseEvent):void {

  var button:Button = Button(e.target);

  if (button) {
    
    button.label;

  }

}

something like that.

That worked fantastic! Thanks!
