How to find which object was clicked in easeljs?

Please go through this code.

arrow_left.addEventListener("click",ans_eval);      
arrow_right.addEventListener("click",ans_eval);  //ans_eval is a function.

now if I want to know which object was clicked, how do I find out?

if(e.target.name==arrow_left){         is this the correct way??
}

How to do it? When I defined arrow_left, I didn't specify any name for that object, so will e.target.name work?

Solution

  • You don't need the name, it should work fine just like this:

    if ( e.target == arrow_left ) { ...

    This of course requires that your method ans_eval can access to the arrow_left-variable, meaning that it will be called in the same context and the addEventListener. Wether or not this is the case will only you know or you post the whole code in a js-fiddle.
