Not only is it better, but definitely best practice. The most basic method is to include a listener destroyer function within the class so that it can deactivate itself before being removed, eg:
SomeMovieClip.destroyMe(); removeChild(SomeMovieClip); SomeMovieClip = null; there are fancier ways to handle this of course but thats the basic concept. http://www.almogdesign.net/blog/actionscript-3-event-listeners-tips-tricks/ .m On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 5:19 PM, ktt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > After > > removeChild(SomeMovieClip); > SomeMovieClip = null; > > it will removed and will wait for garbage collector. > But maybe it is better to remove most unwanted listeners before nullifying > the MovieClip and not wait for garbage collector? > It should save some memory space and time for actually "working" MovieClips > and Events. > What do you think? > > Ktt > > > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
