I couldn’t find a tip of the day on this (maybe there is?)

So I’ve got an object that might have an X type of event listener, how can I check if that listener exists? Is there a method? It’d make my life a little bit easier than using booleans etc… I’m sure there’s one? Or maybe is there an array in my movieclips called EventListeners that I can loop through?

Thanks,
