How can I check if a function is or is not called from the event listener? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Question

Hi,
I came across a little problem.
I put an event listener inside a for loop and the for loop inside a function.
I want the for loop to end as soon as the event listener inside the for loop calls its function.
Here is the general code for a better picture.
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function#1);
function function#1(event:Event):void{
          if(something is true){
                    for(var i = 0; i < numOfmy_mcs; i++){
                              this["my_mc_"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function#2);
function function#2(e:Event):void{
//do something cool here
Thank you for any help!

Well yes but it does it again and again (frames per second times seconds = number of times it goes through the code if i'm not mistaken), because it is inside a function, and through testing i found out that it works like this:
Example:
there are 5 my_mc's in my project: (my_mc_0, my_mc_1, my_mc_2, my_mc_3, my_mc_4)
if i click my_mc_0 function#2 is called and executed. BUT only after the loop finishes (i know this from tons of testing)...which is unnecessary since you cannot click two places at once. This might not be a problem in this example because i am only using 5 my_mc's buy if i use 500000000 my_mc's it would make a lot of difference.
is there a way to stop the loop if the function is called?
...maybe there is a better way to write it, the only alternative i know that works is if i manually write every single listener and this also is logical in this example but as i said next to impossible if the numbers get bigger.
-Note
I didn't specify this earlier but function#2 makes the if statement false so it wont jump back into it.
Thank you for the help I really appreciate it!
