EventDispatcher.removeEventListener()

If you use mx.utils.Delegate for your listener object/function you need to
store the Delegate in a variable. Then use that variable as the listener/object
called from removeEventListener().

The trouble is that Delegate.create _creates a new Function object_ - so the
Delegate object in your removeEventListener call is actually a different
object from in your addEventListener call.

To get around this, simply store the delegate - e.g.:

var myDelegate:Function=Delegate.create(this,fontsLoaded);

// ADD
fntController.addEventListener('onFinished',myDelegate);

// REMOVE
fntController.removeEventListener('onFinished',myDelegate);
