Ben may not have been, but I always have been thinking of this. It would be handy in debugging memory issues for one thing, and also a bit quicker (and surer, given the possibility of missing one?) to loop and clear all than specifically clearing several events on, say, a streamLoader or similar. Or have a removeAllEventListeners() method ... I was wondering if there was any specific reason for it not being exposed, or whether in fact it was but I'd been a bit too dumb or lazy to spot it.

I can see this functionality being useful for various reasons. Ben, are you thinking you want to track down any listeners that are left over that are preventing garbage collection?

Having that return a collection of objects that expose the event type and handler method would be nice and it doesn't seem like it would be that hard to implement since they're obviously already kept track of somewhere. Does anybody else wish this was provided? Does anyone from Adobe have info on why its not and/or if it might be someday?
