Hi,

I am having some problems with removing events , here is the code.

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, dragIt);

rect_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickIt);

function dragIt(eve:MouseEvent):void
{
	rect_mc.startDrag(true);
	eve.updateAfterEvent();
}

function clickIt(eve:MouseEvent):void
{
           trace(eve.target.name + " is clicked");
	stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, dragIt);
}

can you please tell me why the event on stage is not removed, even if i click like thousand times…

thanks is advance…
