is there anyway to do this to let the user know the element is clickable?. I have been using easeljs but haven\'t found anything related
You could use this: How to make clickable points in html5 canvas?
and while the mouse is in that area, you can set: $('#canvasID').css('cursor','pointer') and $('#canvasID').css('cursor','auto') when it's not over it.
$('#canvasID').css('cursor','pointer')
$('#canvasID').css('cursor','auto')
