I'm using TweenLite class (AS3), I have very big project, should I removelistener of timingSprite.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateAll, false, 0, true); in Tweenlite.as file, after my animation is complete????
Because of big project, i'm affraid that ENTER_FRAME causes memory leak for my project.
Thank you

Probably not, although you can always ask the question to Jack Doyle at greensock.com. What's your coding environment? Do you have a profiler? It would make more sense to run some tests and do some profiling before engaging in modifying TweenLite, especially since you have a big project.
By the way, your accept rate is pretty low, maybe you should fix that ;)

You made me smile dude ;) Ok i will ask Mr Jack. I use flash cs4, codding in flashDeveloper. One question, there are hundreds of Tweenlite.to calls i make in my project, each of them do not have removelistener for updateAll function inside class, I think it's stupid :D What you think? Why probably i may skip removeListener as you say???

As a Mac user, I'm not familiar with FlashDevelop but I think FD has a profiler. If it does, I suggest you do a little profiling before worrying about memory leaks. If you can pinpoint issues with Tweenlite, then you should ask Jack ;) More seriously, note that the listener uses weakReference.

A:
You do not need to remove the event listener manually.
The last argument, useWeakReference is set to true so your object will get garbage collected even with the listener present.
