I heard that Flash does not actually destroy Objects, but rather does not
allow you access them anymore. Is that true and if it is, can it become
problematic?

public function destroy():Void {

delete this;

This code is garbage. The delete operator operates on variables and
not on values. So "delete this" will just delete a variable called
"this" within the scope of that function. To remove an object from
memory, you have to remove all references to it. And you can do that
by using delete on each one of those references, or by setting those
variables to some other value.
