A listener for each display object or...?

Say I have many display objects that are buttons. Which is better?

  1. Adding the same listener to each display object?
    (This listener would be full of if-elseif statements to determine which display object evoked it and to carry out the corresponding action.)

  2. Adding a unique listener to each display object?
    (No if-elseif statements because each listener is alway evoked by the same display object. These listener just carry out their specific task.)

I would prefer first implementation. Somehow having many if-elseifs feels much better than unique listener for each display object. This way you also don’t have to clear lot of listeners. [import]uid: 48521 topic_id: 9522 reply_id: 34821[/import]
