actionscript 3 - An approach to remove a listener when it is dispatched -

i find addeventlistener method bit limited. use version of it, made me. insert parameter tell if dispatched event can auto removed, avoid me have write in everywhere:

obj.addeventlistener(click, function onclick(e:event):void {     obj.removeeventlistener(click, onclick); // <--- want avoid }); 

then:

obj.addeventlistener(click, function onclick(e:event):void {     // no need anymore. }, true); // <--- see 

what approach can take in order reach that?

you can intercept addeventlistener method call using override closures:

    override public function addeventlistener(type:string, listener:function, usecapture:boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useweakreference:boolean = false):void      {         var self = this;         var weaklistener:function = function(e) {             self.removeeventlistener(type, weaklistener);             listener(e);         }         super.addeventlistener(type, weaklistener, usecapture, priority, useweakreference);     }
