HTTPService error handling question

Question

When i am using HTTPService for Flex-PHP communication i set
HTTPService's 'fault' property which handles error event. So
basically if i have HTTPService set up like this:
<mx:HTTPService id="test" url="
http://localhost/test/test.php"
contentType="application/xml" useProxy="false" method="POST"
fault="httpServiceError(event)">
</mx:HTTPService>
Then 'httpServiceError' method is fired in case of
HTTPService error. What i would like to do in httpServiceError
method is trace the id of the failed HTTPService. I tried with:
public function httpServiceError(evt:FaultEvent):void{
trace(evt.currentTarget.id);
But soon realized that FaultEvent doesn't conatin
'currentTarget' property so this failed. What's the correct way to
find out id of the failed HTTPService?
thanks in advance,
best regards

Which version of flex are you on?
I'm not sure about version 2 but in Flex 3 fault event does
have currentTarget property. What do you get in the trace if you
just say event.currentTarget?
from the docs:
The FAULT event type.
The properties of the event object have the following values:
Property Value
bubbles false
cancelable true, calling preventDefault() from the associated
token's responder.fault method will prevent the service or
operation from dispatching this event
currentTarget The Object that defines the event listener that
handles the event. For example, if you use
myButton.addEventListener() to register an event listener, myButton
is the value of the currentTarget.
fault The Fault object that contains the details of what
caused this event.
message The Message associated with this event.
target The Object that dispatched the event; it is not always
the Object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget property
to always access the Object listening for the event.
token The token that represents the call to the method. Used
in the asynchronous completion token pattern.
