Thanks for your help, I ended out picking up the string value of the element in
the listener:
var str:String = event.target.valueOf();
Then finding if it was the element I did not want the listener to work on.
if ( str.search("displayPeople") >= 1)
Might not be the most elegant solution, but it works a treat.
Thanks

You are using event.currenttarget but this always points to the current object
(the clue is in the name).
Try using event.target and that might help. I hope so.
Best of luck with it.
