    "this" referencing in AS3

    Hi Folks I have a question on referencing objects: In AS1 + AS2 when I used "this" within a function I was able to control the object calling the function. Now in AS3 it seems as if this would always target the timeline on which the function is defined. How can I make sure to reference the...
