I see a spelling mistake in my original question, I meant "kill all the handlers within a particular movieclip", i.e. each content movieclip.
The number of and names of the onRelease handlers changes in each content movieclip, so rather than writing some hugely complex list of onRelease etc names and deleting them by name (as you have suggested), I wondered if there is any way to kill off all button handlers within a particular movieclip?

Not knowing the specific handler names, seems you can just delete the references for the button events this way: delete myButton.onRelease delete myButton.onReleaseOutside delete myButton.onRollOver etc?
