how would I make my rotating earth stop on mouse over.  
I thought the easiest way is to remove the event listener.  
I know my code does not make sense but it I think it is close.  
Can anyone help with the logic?  
the if statement line is where I think I am wrong…

here is my code.  
any help? thx.

function mouseOver (event:MouseEvent):void {  
var mOver = event.target.name  
\*\* if (mOver == earth\_mc.MOUSE\_OVER):void{\*\*  
earth\_mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME,moveEarth);

}
