{color:#14892c}/*example code*/{color}

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({  
       title:'test', backgroundColor:'#fff'
   });
   view=Ti.UI.createView({
   	backgroundColor:'green',
   	width:'100%',
   	height:'100%'
   });
   view.add(Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title:'color change',
   }));
   view.children[0].addEventListener('click',function(){
   	this.parent.setBackgroundColor('red');
   });
   win.add(view);
   win.open();

{color:#14892c}/*end example code*/{color} {color:red}[ERROR] : Application Error: "Runtime Error during click event: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this.parent.setBackgroundColor')"{color}

Unless I'm mistaken, there is no "parent" property for views. I see no 'parent' property listed for Ti.UI.Button or Ti.UI.View: http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Button Does this work on other platforms?

[~jnaher] Can you try and reproduce on Android/iOS? I don't think a "parent" property exists on any platform (at least not in the docs).

As said above, example code works fine on iOS and Android. I have already tried it on real devices.

Verified as fixed, test code no longer throws an error, and color change button correctly affects the backgroundColor of the parent. Tested on: Windows 10 Pro Windows Phone 10.0 (Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE) Appc Studio: 4.7.0.201606220541 Ti SDK: 5.4.0.v20160627224205 Appc NPM: 4.2.7-2 Appc Core: 5.4.0-20 Node: v4.4.4 *Closing Ticket.*
