I have a proble with a “simple” mouseListener.

I’ve create a class. I’ve attached the class to a movieClip. The movieClip is used in a swf file I called “0\_gioco.swf”.  
“0\_gioco.swf” is loaded into “main.swf”.  
In main.swf I have a botton to exit (remove) from “0\_gioco.swf” and then I can reload it.

The problem is that when I reload “0\_gioco.swf” it doesn’t work because the mouseListener that is called in the class has not be removed.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Alberto.

The code:

[SIZE=3] **abbinaSpot.as** [/SIZE]  
[…]  
public function abbinaSpot() {  
Mouse.removeListener(this.\_parent.mouseListener);  
Mouse.removeListener(this.\_parent.pointer.mouseListener);  
delete mouseListener;

```
    mouseListener = new Object;
    mouseListener._parent = this;
    
    mouseListener.onMouseMove = function () {
        this._parent._x=this._parent._parent._xmouse;
        this._parent._y=this._parent._parent._ymouse;
    };
    mouseListener.onMouseDown = function () {
        trace("mouse giu"+this);
        this._parent.controlla();
    };        

    Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

```

}

public function controlla() {

```
    this._parent.outSpot="controllato";
    this.cliccato="nulla";
    trace("e' uguale a nulla? "+this.cliccato)

```
