is it possible to to apply mouse/touch events to masks with EaselJs? - mouseevent

Question

Is it possible to add mouse events to a shape mask? I have the mask working, and have animated it in other tests. But now I want to know if masks can be clicked and dragged.
You can see the example here: http://www.webnamehere.com/mask/mask.html
And although Easeljs never never seems to work in jsFiddle, you can also see the code here: http://jsfiddle.net/8kbu3/1/
var circle = new createjs.Shape();
var Galaxy;
$(document).ready(function() {
canvasWidth = "1024px";
canvasHeight = "768px";
stage = new createjs.Stage('demoCanvas');
createjs.Touch.enable(stage);
$("#demoCanvas").attr({width:canvasWidth, height:canvasHeight});
Galaxy = new Image();
Galaxy.src = "images/galaxy.jpg";
Galaxy.onload = handleImageLoad;
function handleImageLoad() {
GalaxyBitmap = new createjs.Bitmap(Galaxy);
GalaxyBitmap.x = 0;
GalaxyBitmap.y = 0;
containerGalaxy = new createjs.Container();
containerGalaxy.addChild(GalaxyBitmap);
containerGalaxy.x = 0;
containerGalaxy.y = 0;
circle = new createjs.Shape();
circle.graphics.beginFill('blue').drawCircle(80,80,50).endFill();
containerGalaxy.mask = circle;
stage.addChild(containerGalaxy);
stage.update();
}
circle.onClick = function(evt){
alert('what the F?');
}
circle.onPress = function(evt){
var offset = {x:circle.x-evt.stageX, y:circle.y-evt.stageY};
evt.onMouseMove = function(ev) {
circle.x = ev.stageX+offset.x;
circle.y = ev.stageY+offset.y;
console.log("circle X: " + circle.x + " | Y: " + circle.y);
stage.update();
}
}
Thanks guys

To receive an click-event you have to add the circle to the stage (stage.addChild(circle)) or to a child of the stage, even if it acts as a mask - in your case it might be better to take a transparent dummy-object as the click-listener.
