I am making a smash the mole game in Thunkable. I have added a canvas and a mole sprite which is moving randomly on the canvas.  
If i am able to click the mole my Hit count increases but if i miss the mole that is i click on canvas, my miss count will increase.  
Please help me how to track Canvas click event?

Hi preetimomayaknbghw, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

It sounds like you are referring to the `when canvas touched` block, which is the event block for when a user clicks on the canvas.

Thanks for the reply.  
But, if my sprite is moving on the canvas and I clicked on the sprite then both the following events are triggered:

1. When Sprite clicked
2. When Pointer is down on Canvas  
If need to capture both the events separately, how can I do that?
