e.target problem

Hi
i am trying to make a photo gallery so when people click on a thumbnail it expands to full screen, my problem is i have lots of pictures and i want to determine which one has been clicked. i thought i would use the e.target in a simple if statement like this:

PHP Code:

---

picture.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickedEvent);
picture2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickedEvent);

function clickedEvent(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(e.target.name == picture){
trace("picture one is clicked");
}
else if(e.target.name == picture2){
trace("picture two is clicked");
}
} 


---

in this picture one and two are both on the stage with instance names of picture and picture2.
i have no idea why this isn't working, i have used e.target before with no problems.
any help would be great. thanks

In the function name you have the value 'evt', so this should be the same inside the function.

PHP Code:

---

function clickedEvent(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(evt.target.name == picture){
trace("picture one is clicked");
}
else if(evt.target.name == picture2){
trace("picture two is clicked");
}
}

thank you heaps, such a simple problem now i see it, but it had me stumped for ages. thanks

quotation marks in your conditions.

PHP Code:

---

picture.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickedEvent); 
picture2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clickedEvent); 

function clickedEvent(evt:MouseEvent):void{ 
if(evt.target.name == "picture"){ 
trace("picture one is clicked"); 
} 
else if(evt.target.name == "picture2"){ 
trace("picture two is clicked"); 
} 
}
