method to check which type of object with which name is located at given coordinates

[stringargs]

is there one?
I have 100 rectangles on a canvas and need to know exactly which one is located at the specified coordinates
right now I'm using contains(int x, int y) from the Rectangle class, but that doesn't really work because i need to call it on the rectangle I think is there..

How about having your rectangles in an ArrayList and iterating through the list.

that was my first idea but it can be quite slow with many of 'em and that I do not like

That was my first idea, but it (the program/the execution of the program) can be quite slow with many of 'em (Rectangles in an array that i have to iterate through) and that I do not like.

This is odd since it should take no noticeable time at all to iterate through 100 rectangles.
