Can't remove Enter_Frame and stop TimerEvent
- by Hwang
I wanted to remove an ENTER_FRAME object and stopping an TimerEvent when I click on a button, and rerun ENTER_FRAME and TimerEvent when I click on another button. I've tried removeAddEventListener and stop() for the time, but I won't work. Any idea whats the problem here?
