AS3 removing Dynamically Created Event Listener

programming flash
1

Hi Guys,

This is something I really need to crack - not just to solve the problem but understand the issue.

I’ve dynamically created event listeners in the usual sort of way:


myText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hover(nameLabel));
function hover(nameLabel):Function
{
	var createHover:Function = function (evt:MouseEvent):void 
	{
		getChildByName(nameLabel).filters = [myFilter1];
	}
	return createHover;
}

The problem is how to remove the event listener later in the program as the usual code isn’t working. I’m guessing I should have done this in a class but I’d like to understand this problem better.

Any guru’s out there care to share some insight? :hugegrin:

(I hate not understanding things - you’re not really learning…)
