> Why can't i just call removeEventListener in ActionScript on the type of event declared in MXML?
Because you don't know what to pass for the handler reference. When you write MXML code like <Button click="a=1; b=2"/> the MXML compiler autogenerates an event handler method whose body containts the statements in the attribute value, and you don't have access to this method.

Quoted from Adobe Flex Developers Guide, page 78 "However, it is best practice to use the addEventListener() method. This method gives you greater control over the event by letting you configure the priority and capturing settings, and use event constants. In addition, if you use addEventListener() to add an event handler, you can use removeEventListener() to remove the handler when you no longer need it. If you add an event handler inline, you cannot call removeEventListener() on that handler." - End of Quote - What i think is a little bit confusing is, that it's said that inline EventListener can't be removed? Or is it just a little bit unluckily expressed? Why can't i just call removeEventListener in ActionScript on the type of event declared in MXML? Best regards from Germany
