Guessing without looking at code: try event.currentTarget instead of event.target to see if it works...

Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? Tried mehu11111's suggestion, but that doesn't work either. It seems that when using the PictureMarkerSymbol, the click event returns a MapPoint and not the actual Graphic element. It looks like the currentTarget references the entire FeatureLayer. I'm trying to take some of the attributes of the clicked element to use for further processing but as the click even only returns a MapPoint, that doesn't give me the attributes. Any ideas???

CODE:

<esri:FeatureLayer id="gwcLayer"
          url="http://agsserver.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/NJ_GWC/MapServer/6"
          visible="true"
          outFields="

          click="gwcLayer_clickHandler(event)"
          useAMF="false" />

DOESN'T WORK:

protected function gwcLayer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
    var gr:Graphic = Graphic(event.target);
    ...

   }

Fails as the event is a MapPoint which can't be casted to a Graphic

DOESN'T WORK:

protected function gwcLayer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
    var gr:Graphic = Graphic(event.currentTarget);
    ...

   }

Fails because the currentTarget is the entire FeatureLayer and not the clicked element...
