Instance Names

I want to use this test function to have certain objects brought to the front.
I want all objects to be able to use this same function to be brought to the front but have a problem in determining which object evokes the function.

import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
function Main() extends MovieClip
{
	t1.index = depth;
	addChildAt(t1,depth++);
	t1.addListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, test);
}

function test(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	setChildIndex(event.target, 3);
}

With the setChildIndex line I get this error…

“1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.”

Do I have to wrap “event.target” as an Object? Does AS3 allow wrapping? And if so, how?

Thanks
