remove frame event?

[runtime]

Hello,
I have a chopper_mc that is being controlled by the arrow keys. it basically flips one direction or another.
another mask_mc is always following it by being repositioned behind it when it flips. because the user can move the mc around i need a frame event so that it constantly updates x and y based on the position of chopper_mc.

It works fine on Frame 1, then fine again on frame 2. but when the user makes chopper_mc go back to frame 1 it seems that the spotChaseChopperR function takes over and it wont go back and forth.

is there any way to remove a frame event? or is there a better way to remove it?

frame 1:
stop();



function spotChaseChopperL(evt:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).mask_mc.x = Number(MovieClip(root).chopper_mc.x + 100);
MovieClip(root).mask_mc.y = Number(MovieClip(root).chopper_mc.y + 100);
}

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, spotChaseChopperL); //



frame 2:
stop();


function spotChaseChopperR(evt:Event):void {
MovieClip(root).mask_mc.x = Number(MovieClip(root).chopper_mc.x -200);
MovieClip(root).mask_mc.y = Number(MovieClip(root).chopper_mc.y + 100);
}

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, spotChaseChopperR);

Any help is appreciated in advance!

removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, spotChaseChopperL);

But I'd look into having just one enterFrame function and changing a variable in it with the arrow keys. It'll make your code much more efficient and easier to manage when your project gets more complicated.

thanks for your help. that worked like a charm.

but, yes i am back to having one frame event on the main timeline and trying to make a condition and that will change the position for best practice.

thks again.
