How to understand "this" keyword in flex

It seems stackoverflow ignores this keyword when searching.

It seems the this keyword in flex is different from JavaScript's. I feel it similar with Java's, but not sure.

How to understand it?

this can be a bit confusing for newcomers to MXML. In MXML this is the current "root tag" not the tag you are attaching an eventlistener to, or giving some databinding.

Even so it might be a bit confusing at first, if you think about it it makes perfect sense as an MXML file basically compiles down to a single .as3 class which this referes to.

"this" works same as it works in Java or C#. If you are familiar with C#, this link might help c# is adding "this" optional within a class method

In AS3, this is the same as in Java, the reference to the current object.
