Feature Layer event listener

JohnGarvey — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:32:45 GMT

This feels like it is simple but...

I am trying to get the attributes of a point when somebody clicks on the point. To do this, I added an event listener for MouseEvent.Click on the feature layer. The event fires, but I cannot find any attribute data in the returned event object. Is there a better event to listen for or is there a property on the mouse event that holds the info?

thanks,

John,

Is your event target not a graphic object? If it is then all you do is cast it to a graphics and use the attributes property.

thanks, you led me in the right direction.
The target of the mouse click is a custom sprite whose parent is an esri graphic object.
