One of the reason that I always avoid using event.parent.parent.parent... is that if "parent" gets changed to a different instance it might generate runtime errors.
For example lets suppose event.parent used to return an object of Title Window. Assume you are using a specific attribute of this TitleWindow after getting it. Now if you have changed the parent to VBox which does not have the Title Window attribute, your code would fail at runtime.
