...maintain either a set of references to them, or use [shape].connect to attach the event handlers to them so that you know which shape is the one that received the event.

hey ttrenka!
thanks a lot for your answer!
could you show me a small [shape].connect example?

I thought about something like this:

selectThisCircle: function(e){
this.circle = e.currentTarget;
}

this.circle is my actual circle. the above example works with "normal" html nodes. but how do I this with my gfx circle?

thank you!

in the clock example the event handling is similar to my example above:

onMouseDown = function(evt){
selected_hand = evt.target;

...
}

evt.target is the rawNode of the gfx object. I need the object.
can I somehow get the object if I only have the rawNode?

thank you!
