How to handle children of custom component

Question

Hi,
does anybody know an example of how to develop a custom UIComponent which is able to render any kind of child? For example:
<x:mycomponent columns="3" valu="#{list-of-items} var="item">
<h:graphicImage url="#{item.url}/>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox />
</x:mycomponent>
The result should be a table with 3 columns where each table-cell contains the result of the rendering process of its children, in this case a picture with a checkbox.
I have tried it and managed to get the correct html-result. But I do not get the input of the checkbox if the above code snippet is a part of a html-form.
So what I realy like to have is the sourcecode of some kind of UIComponent which does something like this.
Kind Regards,
Tobias

Thanks for the swift reply Craig
My custom component has 3 elements hence the currentTarget
could be either the folder icon, the status icon or the text field.
Is there some way of finding the parent of which ever of
these sub items of the cusom component is clicked?
Here is the code for my custom component
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="240" height="60" cornerRadius="15" borderStyle="none"
backgroundColor="#ffffff" themeColor="#ff0000">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var studentName:String ="Student Name";
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Text x="64" y="24" text="{studentName}" />
<mx:SWFLoader x="10" y="10" width="32" height="24"
source="@Embed('assets/folderIcon.swf')" />
<mx:SWFLoader x="19" y="42" width="11" height="11"
source="@Embed('assets/cfStatusIcon.swf')" />
</mx:Canvas>
