    Add touch event to multiple objects

    Hy,
    I have many rectangles(objects) created in table.

    local rectTable = {}
    for i = 1, 5, 1 do
    rectTable[i] = {}
    for j = 1, 5, 1 do
    rectTable[i][j] = Shape.new()
    rectTable[i][j]:setLineStyle(3, 0x000000)
    ...

    How can i add touch event to each object, so i could manage them individually.
    Tried couple things, nothing seems to work.

      --handling touches start
local handleTouches = function(self, e)
    --self references to rectangle
    --e event object with x and y cooridnates
    if self:hitTestPoint(e.touch.x, e.touch.y) then --if object was touched
        --your code goes here
    end
end
for j = 1, 5, 1 do
    rectTable[i][j] = Shape.new()
    rectTable[i][j]:setLineStyle(3, 0x000000)
    --addEventListener(event type, function to handle event, object reference to pass to function)
    rectTable[i][j]:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN, handleTouches, rectTable[i][j])
    stage:addChild(rectTable[i][j])
end
      Hope this helps ;)
