```auto
if (container.hitTestPoint(object.x,object.y,true)){

}

```

if container has multiple children, what is the fastest way to determine which child has been hit?

My only guess is a loop to test against each child individually. I have done this its not that much slower than hit testing against the whole container. however it is a little slower.
