To remove an object visually, you'll have to remove it from the "display list" by calling removeChild or removeChildAt on its parent. Your code might still have references to the object. To really make sure that the object is no longer accessible and therefore eligible for garbage collection, you'll have to release all references to it. For example, if a variable myButton which is a private member of your Applciation points to a Button instance you create somewhere, you'll have to null out that reference. someContainer.removeChild(myButton); myButton = null; Manish
