functions reading which MC used?

[Aprime]

Is there a way to read which MC I apply my event listener to?

medalMC1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseOver);
medalMC2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseOver);
medalMC3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseOver);

function MouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
	[insertAppliedMC].alpha = 0.5;
}

Maybe it's not possible?

**Updated**

Something like this would be cool

medalLvl1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseOver, medalLvl1);
function MouseOver(event:MouseEvent, blah):void {
	trace(blah);
}

You can use the target property to access the object which triggered the event; just cast it as a MovieClip and do whatever you want with it:

function MouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
  var mc:MovieClip = event.target as MovieClip;
  mc.alpha = 0.5;
}

The target and currentTarget properties are used to access the objects that triggered events based on what is passed to your event listener (i.e. the function).
