okay i know this is lame, but i tried assigning different data types to it but it gives an error. i just wanna strict data type my stuff
i have a addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICK, myFunc) added to one of my MovieClips on stage. Everytime id want to refernce that object that as been clicked. i would reference it by “event.target” is that correct?
what data type is “event.target”?
lets say i do
var target = event.target;
i traced that using
trace(typeof(target)); // and it returns "object"
however when i try to data type the variable as an object
var target:Object = event.target;
i get an error…
what i am actaully aiming to do is to get the Index of the object. when i tried
getChildIndex(event.target);
i get an error… it only works when i did this
var target = event.target;
trace(getChildIndex(target));
so what datatype is “event.target”?
or is there a better way to get the Index of the Child?
im still a noob at AS3.0 and would like to seek advice.
thank you so much whoever who helps me with this in advance…
and sorry for this stupid question
