How do you remove an Event Listener?

Having problems removing an event listener. The code below works fine and removes the listener as soon as it is created.

function otherTouch( event )
                        print( "otherTouch: event(" .. event.phase .. ") ("..event.x..","..event.y..")" .. tostring(event.id) )
                end
        
        Runtime:addEventListener( "touch", otherTouch )
        Runtime:removeEventListener( "touch", otherTouch )

otherTouch is not known inside btnRewindT.
Changing the order of your functions should make your problem go away:

local function otherTouch( event )
  -- do stuff
end
 
local function btnRewindT ( event )
  if event.phase == "release" then
    print("btnRewind stopping Listener")
    Runtime:removeEventListener("touch", otherTouch )
  end
end
 
Runtime:addEventListener( "touch", otherTouch )

Seth,

Lots of love your way...thanks!
