Track listener ids in JSFL between external script executions from AS3

An eventListener has been created in a .jsfl script. Is it possible to call removeEventListener from AS3 to remove that listener? As far as I can determine, it's impossible to keep track of (and therefore remove) any listener IDs between MMExecute calls from AS3.

Hi,

Maybe I don't understand the issue, but what if you use MMExecute() to remove the listener? For example (not tested):

// in jsfl
var eventID;
eventID = fl.addEventListener( "documentClosed", myFunction );
function getListenerID(){
return eventID;
}
function removeListenerByID( id ){
fl.removeEventListener( "documentClosed", parseInt( id ) );
}
//in as3
var id:String = MMExecute( "getListenerID()" );
MMExecute( "removeListenerByID('"+ id +"')" );

    Fantastic, yes that works across our test cases. Many thanks Vladin for taking the time to answer.
