Hi Itambs,
You can do the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="deleteItem('Dummy GUID VALUE')">
<mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
   import mx.controls.*;
   import mx.events.*;
   private var myAlert:Alert;
   private function deleteItem(guid:String):void
    myAlert = Alert.show("Are sure you want to delete?", "Confirm Delete", Alert.YES|Alert.NO, this, alertClicked);
    myAlert.data = guid;
    myAlert.height = 150;
                myAlert.width = 300;
   private function alertClicked(event:CloseEvent):void{
    if(event.detail == Alert.YES) {
       //Alert.show("yes "+guid); //<-- here I want to get guid
       Alert.show("yes "+ myAlert.data);
    else if (event.detail == Alert.NO){
       Alert.show("no ");
       return;
  ]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Note: you can also do this in another way by decalring a global variable guid as ...... private var _guid:String="";
set _guid = guid; in deleteItem() function and then in alertClicked() function you can access the value as _guid again...which holds the saved value...
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.
