I think Paul is saying that your example didn't do what you said it would do. It seems to leave a listener on the parent, and because your custom event has bubbling=true, the parent listener will get it

But what exactly are you asking for? I am showing how I am adding a custom event listener to a form's parent. And how the form then processes remote event. --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, "Paul Andrews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "markgoldin_2000" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>> > Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 4:58 PM > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: removeEventListener > > > > Ok, I will try to show some code. > > Form's Init > > > > private function init():void > > { > > > > parent.removeEventListener("remoteDateEvent", remoteClickHandler) > > parent.addEventListener("remoteDateEvent", remoteClickHandler) > > } > > The init function removes the listener then puts the same listener back - > it's totally pointless. > > > private function remoteClickHandler(event:remoteDateRun):void > > { > > // each form has different lineId.
