multiple listeners

[brokes]

if you say more than once for example (by mistake or whatever):

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame)
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame)

does this mean that now you have running this twice or ... ?
(if you get what i mean)

I'm not the most experienced ActionScript developer, but from my experience: yes, the second event listener won't replace the first one. I think it is also mentioned somewhere in the adobe help documents..

ya, that will work in AS3.

tho if you ever have to code something in AS2, adding a second listener will not work.

If you put 2 seperate instance names attach them to event listeners with the same function all that happens is both instance names when evoked perform the same action.

addEventListener checks for duplicates. It ignores duplicate additions. But this only works if it is the exact same dispatcher, event type, catch mode and listener function.
