removeEventListener() for an anonymous function

programming flash

I have an event listener with an anonymous function literal, rather than a function reference. What I am trying to figure out is how to remove that event listener.

Obviously, I need a reference to the anonymous function, so the two functions are ===. But, something is going wrong… it just doesn’t work, ad this situation doesn’t generate any feedback to tell me what might be wrong.

There is some good info here, but not a clear explanation.


private static var _myFunc:Function;

public static function addCreditsToolTip(clip:DisplayObject):void
{
    clip.addEventListener("rollOver",
    _myFunc = function():void
    {
        trace("yay!");
    });

    trace(_myFunc); //"function Function() {}" < PERFECT!
    clip.removeEventListener("rollOver", _myFunc); // < this doesn't work.
}
