Thanks yet again Tracy for helping me along on my steep learning curve with
this Flex malarkey.

Yes, the "evt_obj" target or currentTarget has a reference to the custom
component. Have a getter function in the component return the name.
I also advise passing in the entire item. It cleans up the code and provides
flexibility when you decide you need some other bit of item data in the
component or in the handler.
See below.

Goal: Display a list of items using a complex display for each item, and
have each of those items behave like a menu element and respond to a click
anywhere on the item by running a handler function.
One solution is to use a Repeater with a custom component
In the main app or component, declare the Repeater, and the click handler
function.
And in the component, MyRepeaterItem.mxml:
[Event(name="itemClick", type="flash.events.Event")]

I have a repeated custom component as follows:
And I want to retrieve the studentName and productPrice when this component
is clicked on
private function CFSClick_Folder(evt_obj:Object):void {
var studentName:String = ??
}
Please can anyone tell me how I can get this value?
Thanks
