This Delegate.create() works great, except how do you remove the eventListener when you code the Delegate.create into addEvenListener argument?

removeEventListener doesn't seem to be working here???

The following is excerpted from a DevNet article:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/eventproxy.html

-----------------------
If you need to remove the listener at a later point, then you must change the code to store a reference to the delegate, as follows:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
var dataGridDelegate:Function = Delegate.create(this,onMyDataGridChange);
myDataGrid.addEventListener("change", dataGridDelegate);
function onMyDataGridChange(eventObj:Object):Void
{
trace("myDataGrid change event fired");
}


Then, you can remove the listener with this code:

myDataGrid.removeEventListener("change", dataGridDelegate);
