So are you saying that, in general, anonymous functions should not be used as listeners?
If its anything like in Java, (once the calling method returned) the anonymous function would only be referenced by the event dispatcher and so (assuming weak references are not used) would only be garbage collected when the event dispatcher is garbage collected. At least, that's how I understand it. I posted a question about this a few weeks ago, but didn't get a reply.
