I have this code on the first frame of a movieclip:

function onCreditChanged(eventObject:Object)  
{  
if (eventObject.newCredit \>= 250) {  
\_root.footy.gotoAndStop(“2”);  
}else{  
\_root.footy.gotoAndStop(“1”);  
}  
}  
\_root.addEventListener(“CREDIT\_CHANGED”, onCreditChanged);

When going to frame 2 I want to stop the listener but can’t seem to manage it. It won’t ever stop!

How would I remove the event listener in this situation?

thanks
