Having issue with accumulative event listeners for frame navigation.

Question

Hey guys! I'm new and I'm having issues with my frame navigation.

My issue is that after a few times going back and forth using the navigation buttons I have created the behavior of the buttons start to become slow. The more I do it the longer it takes.

I read here that event listeners are accumulative and that I should remove the event listeners. I have tried this but when I remove the event listeners my buttons stop working.

This is the original code accumulating the events listeners.

this.btn_back.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame()

{

root.gotoAndStop(0);

}

this.btn_next.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2()

{

root.gotoAndStop(2);

}

My question is, where should I put the removeEventListeners? I have to use these buttons all over the project and it is not necessarally sequential navigation.

I really appreciate your help guys.

var _this = this;this.btn_back.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame); function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(){_this.btn_back.removeEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);root.gotoAndStop(0);} this.btn_next.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2); function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2(){_this.btn_next.removeEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_2);root.gotoAndStop(2);}My question is, where should I put the removeEventListeners?
