You want to look at the event's currentTarget instead of target.
>From the documentation for MouseEvent:
target = The InteractiveObject instance under the pointing device. The
target is not always the object in the display list that registered
the event listener. Use the currentTarget property to access the
object in the display list that is currently processing the event.
