Hi Guys,

I am trying to remove a mouse listener from a function created from a tutorial in actionscript 2:

Mouse.addListener(mousecontroll);  
onEnterFrame = oef; //main function: handles page turning-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
resetPages();  
reset();

function removeML() { //removes mouse listener  
//Call this function before unloading the pageflip  
//if you don’t do that, the next time you load a  
//pageflip, the mouselistener will not work!  
Mouse.removeListener(mousecontroll);  
trace(“removed”);  
}

The swf that the function is within I am uploading externally into a container.

The code for the button that i am using to try and call the function and load the external swf is below:

on (release)  
{  
\_root.holder\_mc.loadMovie(“external.swf”, \_root.holder);  
\_root.button\_mc.onRelease = removeML; //this line of code doesn’t seem to call the function  
}

Any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
