Annoying Text component.

Question

I have a class with a function that dynamicly creates some Text components and sets their properties. This works fine. They turn up where they should.
However, the e.target.x property in the event handler returns 0 for all the Text components. When testing e.target.width and e.target.toString() I get correct, individual values.
Is this a bug ??
Simplified code:
private
function createLeftBoard():void
     for(var i:int = 0; i < 6; i++)     {        
          var t:Text = new Text();
          t.width = _w + i; // adding i to width here for debugging purposes
          t.x = _x;
          _x += _w;
          t.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, assignPoints);
          addChild(t);
// this doesnt work because e.target.x returns 0 for all components: 
private function assignPoints(e:Event):void{
     sh_marker.x = e.target.x;
     sh_marker.visible =    
true;

Answer 1

Short, simplified answer: The currentTarget property is the component you attached the listener to.  The target property could/is the component you were interested in's parent/container.
I hope that helps.
