Detect which object is clicked out of several objects.

Question

I want to make a game where it randomly generates a map, and players can click objects of the map. I want something to happen to that object, and I want the game to detect which object has been clicked, and temporarily assign that object a name so that I can do things to that object, I want the name to overwrite when I click a new object, and want to be able to retreive what I have done to the other objects. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction, here was my result:
public var target
        public function DirtBlock() { //dirt block spawned
            trace("SPAWNED")
            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fl_click)
         function fl_click(event:MouseEvent):void { //dirt block clicked
            var dirtblock:DirtBlock = new DirtBlock();
            trace("CLICKED")
            trace(event.currentTarget) //traces which object was clicked(Object, dirtblock)
            target = event.currentTarget// sets the object to "target" so it can be manipulated
            target.visible = false
