I've got a little test LZX code that has a click handler like this:
<view id="bar" x="200" y="200" >
<view id="foo" bgcolor="0xcccccc" x="-100" y="-100" height="200"
width="200"
onclick="parent.animate('rotation', 360, 1500, true)"
>
When I compile it I get this error from the flex compiler
/cygdrive/c/flex2/bin/mxmlc -debug=true
-library-path+=../../../lps/includes/lfc/LFC9.lzl -default-size 800 600

Loading configuration file C:\flex2\frameworks\flex-config.xml

Error: Call to a possibly undefined method animate through a reference with
static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
parent.animate('rotation', 360, 1500, true)
^
The handler is compiled to a function inside of the usual stuff passed to a
call to LzInstiateView:
LzInstantiateView({attrs: {id: "bar",
x: 200,
y: 200},
children: [{attrs:
{$delegates: ["onclick", "$m1", null,
"oninit", "$m2_foo_reference", null],
$m1: function foo_$m1() {
parent.animate('rotation', 360, 1500, true)
}, ...
So I am not sure in what context the compiler thinks that "parent" is being
looked up.
If I change the code to refer to "this.parent", it compiles happily, and
appears to work
<view id="bar" x="200" y="200" >
<view id="foo" bgcolor="0xcccccc" x="-100" y="-100" height="200"
width="200"
onclick="this.parent.animate('rotation', 360, 1500, true)"
