removing an event listener

Games
#1

If I have a number of objects in a table each with an event listener, if I nil one of those table entries do I also have to manually remove the event listener as well or is it done automagically?

without testing it I’d say you have to remove the listeners manually.
but that’s just one line to add:

 for i,val in pairs(objTable) do  
  
 Runtime:removeEventListener( "enterFrame", val.theEnterFrameFunction );  
 val.object:removeSelf();  
 objTable[i] = nil;  
  
 end

again, I didn’t test it. but it should work…

Cheers. Wasn’t sure if nilling the table entry removed the event listener as well.
One extra line of code doesn’t hurt :slight_smile:
