A Boolean; true if listener was found and removed, false if listener was not registered as an event listener for Mouse. The return value is useful for debugging code that removes listeners.

Description

The removeListener( ) method stops listener from receiving Mouse event notifications. It should only be used after listener has been registered as an event listener via addListener( ). The listener object is not deleted, but it can be removed and added repeatedly. Event listeners should be removed when the task they perform is no longer required.
