I just want to mention... The name of the autogenerated event handler method for an MXML event attribute is an undocumented implementation detail that is subject to change without notice in future versions of Flex. Also, I'm curious what you're trying to accomplish by removing these listeners. - Gordon

The Flex compiler actually generates a function to wrap around whatever you call. You can see the exact code if you look at the generated code using the -keep compiler argument, but it looks something like this: private function someGeneratedFunctionName(event:MouseEvent):void { //your code gets copied here onClick(); } You can get an idea of why when you think of the fact that the "event" parameter is available in your click="" attribute in the MXML. You can either pass it to your function or ignore it completely. In ActionScript, when you use addEventListener instead, your function must always accept an event parameter.
