It is inside the class, and the class instance is created within that
movieclip after it's loaded via attachMovie().

I was told by someone that since the intervals are in the global
namespace that yes, you do need to clear them or you'll "screw
yourself." Which this does make sense so I created a function to call
before I call removeMovieClip().
BTW, now that I'm thinking of it is it possible to do this?
private var myInterval:Number;
public function MyClass(mc:MovieClip) {
myMC = mc;
}
public function destroy():Void {
clearInterval(myInterval);
myMC.removeMovieClip();
}
myMC is a reference of the clip on stage that is blinking. Currently,
I call myClassInstance.destroy() and then blinkingMC.removeMovieClip
(). I assume it's possible to have removeMovieClip() in destroy()
since myMC is a reference of blinkingMC, correct?
Thanks.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Do You Need to Clear Intervals in this Case?
I have an AS class that accepts a movieclip in the constructor and
tells
that mc to blink via setInterval(). Now, this movieclip is in an
external
SWF and loaded into another using MovieClipLoader. So the movieclip is
loaded on stage and blinking. If I perform a removeMovieClip on that
blinking mc do I need to call a clearInterval before removing?
