I don't think "delete this;" is legal. "delete" deletes references, it
doesn't actually mark the object for deletion. It doesn't make sense
to delete the 'this' reference.
///////
// some example code
var obj1 = {name:"bob"};
var obj2 = obj1; // obj2 and obj1 are both references to the same object
obj2.name = "Jack"; // this will change the object
// proof that there is only a single object
trace(obj1.name); // Jack
trace(obj2.name); // Jack
delete obj1;
// .. wait or delay as long as you like ...
trace(obj2.name); // Jack -- the object was never deleted, only the reference
/////////////////////
To delete an object (not a movieclip), you simply need to delete all
the references to it. So, if the only reference is in an array, just
remove that element from the array.
Hope this helps,
