[RESOLVED] Dispatch and Listen for a Global Event

[badaboom55]

Oops... not done yet apparently...

Now I'm encountering an interesting problem when I try to remove the listeners.

In ClassA (the dispatcher) I have:

Broadcaster.broadcastEvent("someEvent");

This line within ClassA is associated with an interval, so it basically tells the Broadcaster class to broadcast a "someEvent" event once a second.

In ClassB (the listening class) I have:

// in ClassB constructor
Broadcaster.addBroadcastListener("someEvent", onSomeEvent, false, 0, true);

// ClassB methods
private function onSomeEvent(e:Event):void{
    trace("Broadcast Received");
}

This all works great. I get "Broadcast Received" traced to output panel about once a second.
However, now I'm concerned with what happens when I want to destroy a ClassB instance and (hopefully) flag it for garbage collection. So, each instance of ClassB has a kill() method (called when it is removed from stage via removeChild) designed to remove "standard" listeners, children and other sub-processes to make sure that there aren't any extraneous references.
Now, I have removed the ClassB instance from the Display List, and set all external/parent references to the ClassB instance to "null"; however, I'm still getting "Broadcast Received" traced to the output panel... even though ClassB instance that has the trace() script in it has been "destroyed".
I thought that would easily be solved by removing the broadcast listener:

public function kill():void{
    Broadcaster.removeEventListener("someEvent", onSomeEvent, false);
}

I got a strange compile-time error:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method removeEventListener through a reference with static type Class.

This threw me for a loop because Broadcaster extends EventDispatcher, so shouldn't it inherit the removeEventListener() method? Is there some reason I would need to override the EventDispatcher method?

Or, do I need to create a special removeBroadcastListener() method in Broadcaster in order to remove any listeners added? If so, what would that look like??

Thanks!
