removing event listeners

[schlag]

I'm loading and reloading sets of thumbs - load xml, generate thumb clips, load images into the clips, then removing the clips after user done interacting. Below is code to load the images.

I should remove the listener as each thumb is loaded, correct?

I looked around for code to remove the load listeners and came up with code below.

Is it correct? Is there a better way?

function loadScrubPic():void {
	var picRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(thumbsXml.thumb[thumbLoadNo].thumbURL[0]);
	var picLoader:Loader = new Loader();	
	picLoader.load(picRequest);	
	scrubThumbHoldersArray[thumbLoadNo].holder.addChild(picLoader);	
	picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, scrubPicLoaded);	
	scrubThumbLoadersArray.push(picLoader);
}



function scrubPicLoaded(event:Event):void {
	var thumbClip:DisplayObject = DisplayObject(LoaderInfo(event.target).content).parent.parent.parent;

	//  remove init listener
	event.target.removeEventListener(Event.INIT, scrubPicLoaded);
	
	thumbLoadNo++;		
	if (thumbLoadNo < thumbsXml.thumb.length()) {		
		loadScrubPic();		
	} else {
		trace("\nall scrub thumbs loaded - " + scrubThumbHoldersArray.length);
	}	
}

Thanks for your help!

Essentially, you are correct. There are always a number of different way to perform a task, it is just all about the programmer. If the code is working and the listener is being removed, I suggest just keeping what you got.

Essentially doesn't sound good. How should I do it?

Code you posted is fine. It can't be any simpler than that.
