[removed] remove event listener

Question

I\'m trying to remove an event listener inside of a listener definition:

canvas.addEventListener(\'click\', function(event) {
    click++;
    if(click == 50         


        

Answer 1

I think you may need to define the handler function ahead of time, like so:

var myHandler = function(event) {
    click++; 
    if(click == 50) { 
        this.removeEventListener('click', myHandler);
    } 
}
canvas.addEventListener('click', myHandler);

This will allow you to remove the handler by name from within itself.
