Question

I have this Array and these event handlers:

var btnArr:Array = new Array(aBtn, bBtn, cBtn);
aBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, blah);
bBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, blah);
cBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, blah);

Where aBtn, bBtn and cBtn are MovieClip objects.

When I try and get the index of one of these, during an event:

function blah(e:Event) {
     var i = btnArr.indexOf(e.target);
     trace(i)

So why does this trace return an undefined every time?

Answer 1

Use e.currentTarget , e.target may be some child . Or like Tobias says – set mouseChildren to false
