Question : Removing rollOver and rollOut handlers on movieclips

Greetings,

I have movieclips that make up a background to a site and they're scripted as below:


var numObjects:Number = 2871;

for (var i:Number = 1; i <= numObjects; i++)
{
     var mc:MovieClip = this["p" + i];
     mc.onRollOver = rollOverHandler;
     mc.onRollOut = rollOutHandler;
}

function rollOverHandler()
{
      // "this" will refer to the object on which event is invoked
      this._xscale = _xscale+65;
      this._yscale = _yscale+65;
};
function rollOutHandler() {
      this._xscale = _xscale-0;
      this._yscale = _yscale-0;
};


I would like to make the rollOver and rollOut handlers for the above movieclips become inactive once I load a movieclip from the library into another clip holder placed on the stage.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

If you're not into using event listeners and broadcasters (see this example for a good education on this advanced technique: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/asbroadcaster.htm), then you can set each event handler to an empty function, like this:

mc.onRollover = function() { }
mc.onRollOut = function() { }
