Help: Adding Properties To Display Objects

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

The Corona manual says “All instances of DisplayObject behave like normal Lua tables. This means you can add your own properties to the object as long as they don’t conflict with the properties and method names below.”

How would you go about adding/declaring an object property like object.v, to store a display object’s velocity, for example so that event.target.v would be a valid reference?

local velocity = 1.0;
local object = display.newRect(…)

object:setFillColor(…)
object.v = velocity;
