removing an event listener

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I am trying to remove an event listener but it doesn’t appear to be removing.

I add it as follows:

  
Runtime:addEventListener( "enterFrame", moveBallObjects )

And inside a local function if a conditional is met I remove it as follows:

  
Runtime:removeEventListener( "enterFrame", moveBallObjects )

I have put a print statement in the moveBallObjects function to check if it is still being called after I remove the event listener and unfortunately it is.

Guess I am doing something wrong?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Is the function moveBallObjects located AFTER the remove line and is it declared there as local? If yes, then predeclare it before the remove line.

I am removing eventlistener without a problem in my game. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 2539 reply_id: 7318[/import]

When you say predeclare it do you mean just move it or is there a way to predeclare a function but leave it after?
