Add touch events to child CCLayers

cocos2d-x C++
#1

So I set up my game like this. I have a CCLayer called MainLayer. I added a child layer in the MainLayer called GameLayer. Then I added another child layer in the MainLayer called HUDLayer. So MainLayer contains GameLayer and HUDLayer. Now, I want to add touch events and do the following:

  1. Tap an object in the GameLayer and have that object do something.
  2. Tap an object in the HUDLayer and have that object do something.
  3. Drag an object in the GameLayer and move it into the HUDLayer.
  4. Drag the GameLayer so that it shows more of the layer.

I was able to do 1, 2, and 3 but all the objects are on the MainLayer and I wanted to implement layers so that each type of object (HUD objects in the HUDLayer and game objects in the GameLayer) is in their respective layers.
My guess is that I have to add touch handlers ( ccTouchBegan, ccTouchMoved, ccTouchEnded ) in GameLayer and HUDLayer but I am not sure how to add touch events on the child layers.

Any help?

EDIT Another solution I can think of is to make a new class that subclasses CCLayer.
