assign variable name to event.currentTarget

Question

Hi I want to use mutliple images in my flash script and instead of writing tons of code I want to get the 'currentTarget' and assign a variable name to it so I can tweenlite it . Instead of me naming all the instances i thought the following would work but it doesn't. Can anybody give me some pointers , thanks

 wedding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pan_over) ;


        function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{
   var ct:string = Event.currentTarget.name  ;

   TweenLite.to(ct,1, {scaleX:1.4, scaleY:1.03} ) ;
          }

Answer 1

try this:

    wedding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pan_over) ;

    function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{
       TweenLite.to(e.currentTarget, 1, {scaleX:1.4, scaleY:1.03} ) ;
    }

Answer 2

TweenLite uses an object, not the named reference, therefore by passing to it the name MovieClip1 for example you are not passing the string but the previously constructed object. if you want to store the currentTarget for later then you should be using something like:

function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var ct:Object = Event.currentTarget;
    TweenLite.to(ct, 1, {scaleX:1.4, scaleY:1.03} ) ;
}
