Hi there, For what it's worth...
Previous to flash 8, the flash player uses both reference counting and mark/sweep garbage collection, which kicks in every 60 seconds or so, or when the number of allocated objects is increased by 20%. So the reference counting takes care of the objects without circular references, and the garbage collection takes care of the rest. removeMovieClip is problematic in that it's likely to leave lots of hanging references, and there's not a great deal you can do about that - it sounds like you have class dependancies outside of the movieclip object itself. Have you tried using some kind of factory type approach to manage your deletion/creation? Can you give more information about how your objects are being corrupted?
