Cannot remove eventlistener??

[eggblade]

I have this structure for my code :

A{ {X} {Y1} {B{Z}Y2} }

Y1 contains addEventListener to buttonA and Y2 contains removeEventListener from buttonA,but why Y2 won't work,so the eventlistener cannot be removed?

thanks.

I'm not sure if I understand your structure?

I would guess Y1 is out of scope for Y2 somehow? Are you sure you provide the correct reference?

I made an example:

import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.events.MouseEvent;


//A{ {X} {Y1} {B{Z}Y2} }


var buttonA:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
this.addChild(buttonA);


buttonA.graphics.lineStyle(3,0x00ff00);
buttonA.graphics.beginFill(0x0000FF);
buttonA.graphics.drawRect(0,0,100,100);
buttonA.graphics.endFill();
buttonA.x = stage.stageWidth/2-buttonA.width/2;
buttonA.y = stage.stageHeight/2-buttonA.height/2;


buttonA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, traceCall);


function traceCall(e:MouseEvent)
{
    trace("button called");
    var refbuttonA = e.currentTarget
    
    refbuttonA.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,traceCall);
}

well,I made a trace before and just realized that Y1/addEventListener(contains playing sfx too) triggered automatically and repeated several times I don't know why this happened...so when it played the sfx,the sfx become so loud because the command plays repetitively...any solution?
