While Globals are around as long as the movie, I have found that voiding
them when I am done with them will release the memory they use to hold that
value. This has been most useful for dumping objects and ancestors when
switching movies.

Globals are around as long as your movie is running--they even hang around
if you go to or play another movie.
Properties are one way of doing it, if you're using OOP. When you dispose
of an object, its properties are removed from the heap.
