If you are adding a listener, the handlers e.currentTarget will point to the object that you added the listener to, e.target is the object that initiated the event (event bubbling). So in a general way, where you in AS2 were using e.target you should now use e.currentTarget. You only use e.target if you want to reference the displayObject that initiated the event.
