Remove Event Listener before removeSelf ?

Getting Started Newbie Questions

I need to remove the event listener before remove the object or it will be removed automatically?

For exemple:

local startBut = display.newImageRect("images/bt\_draw.png", 239, 110)  
function startBut:touch ( event )  
end  
startBut:addEventListener("touch", startBut)

To remove this object I use:

startBut:removeEventListener("touch", startBut)-- this line is needed or not??  
startBut:removeSelf()

Hey there,

No, you don’t need to remove the listener manually when you remove the object.
