this is how the eventListener is added:
this.basicNews.addEventListener(RepeaterEvent.CLICK,
this.onNewsClicked, false, 0, true);
granted that the eventListener was added with a weak reference

In the above code I do not see why you would need any more then the
following lines:
*basicNews = null;
removeChild(basicNews);*
All references to basicNews are now removed and it is (along with its
children) marked for garbage collection. Calling the other extra
methods
seems a waste of CPU.

Hello,
I did develop a global process, in which my customized objects do
have a
'die' method which is called in the end of an object's life in
order to
clean *everything* (like removing internal movieclips, sprites,
listeners,
timers, ..)
this is what I came up with: the following block code is part of
MyWhateverObject die method:
// basicNews is some basic Repeater ....
if (this.basicNews != null) {
this.basicNews.removeEventListener(RepeaterEvent.CLICK,
this.onNewsClicked);
this.removeChild(this.basicNews);
this.basicNews.die();
this.basicNews = null;
}
my question is the following: when would you call the
basicNews.die()
method ? BEFORE or AFTER the 'this.removeChild(this.basicNews)' ?
tia,
Cedric
