That works, but is considered a "hack" in the strictest sense. The W3C Events spec indicates that event properties are read-only. Flash allows writing to them to make setup easier (constructor args are easy to mix up). Hmm. In this sense, surely event.target is a reference to an object, so really this has nothing to do with event properties at all? (it's just using the object reference to set a public attribute). Or are you referring to the lack of a cast - SomeClass(event.target).publicParameter ? Of course the listener could also call a callback method - SomeClass(event.target).aCallbackFn() .
