    Get the currently clicked/moving object?

    ______ Member
    edited July 2012 in General questions
    I have listeners on my complete page for mouseDown, mouseUp, mouseMove, but not on individual objects.

    Is the only way to get the currently clicked object to traverse all the objects I've created on the screen, and do a hit test? or am I missing something?
    People call me "underscore".

      you can do it as you said only but not sure if it is a good programming or not.
      In your listener get Event.x and Event.y and then compare with yoor objects x and y.
      (object:getX(), object:getY() )
      Make a hit test like that.

      I'd say it is much easier to set up event listener for each object's instance and do the hitTestPoint inside it and add event:stopPropagation() in the end of function if hitTestPoint returned true, so event won't to complete page event handler.

      Hmm. stopPropagation sounds like a good idea. I think I'll go with this.

      Any idea of any performance hit doing this vs a single listener?

      Don't worry, it'll be dealt with once any of the mods see it.

      I don't think there should be any difference
