Im trying to do what I thought would be very easy, but the more I think about it, the harder it probably is - which is why I seek advice/help.

With my attached files as an example; Im trying to allow the user to fire ONLY at the big yellow target. Anywhere outside of the target the mouseDown would do nothing. Despite my minimal efforts to aim the command at the yellow target, the bomb still fires anywhere on the screen.

What am I doing wrong? am I using completely the wrong source?

Cheers.
