There are just a few things to keep in mind when you destroy objects, you should remove any broadcasters they are listening to (removeListener(this)) and remove any movieclips that are instantiated during the init process. Seperate the object from the graphics when you think about your object so that no orphan movieclips occur when you get rid of the object.
You want to make sure that removeMovieClip will invoke by setting the movieclip depth equal to or lower than 1048575. I usually use a die() method which takes care of these things. Maybe a base object that might implement a die function that did common tasks would be best, it's how I do it normally so that I don't have to write a die function for all of my objects. Any other relationship the object holds with the application should be considered. I don't think you will have any problems beyond what I've mentioned if the object is well encapsulated. I hope this helps, M. On 4/26/06, Manuel Saint-Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What is the best way to destroy a Singleton?
