general case, using those events simplifies the interface (meaning, the user
of the class doesn't have to bother calling a destroy method, etc).

Running a GC cycle is rather intensive and can definitely have an impact on
performance. It's a trade-off. You hold some memory for a little longer than
you actually need, but you save on performance (and many times, memory is
just sitting there with no one using it anyway... also, allocating and

So there is no way to fire the garbage collector from actionscript?
This seems odd to me if that is the case. If the flash applications
performance is dependent partly on how well the garbage is taken out,
wouldn't there be a class made for that so we can control it? Or is
it too risky to be m
Event listeners will be destroyed along with the object the listeners
belong to. But they will keep on firing until the garbage collector
feels like running.
Do note that a listener does hold a reference to the listener function
from the event source. This means that if the object has a listen
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
Could you do?
SomeMovieClip.removeListener(someListener);
removeChild(SomeMovieClip);
SomeMovieClip = null;
No need to wait for the trash man.
Again, I am still thinking in AS2. Not sure of AS3 equivalent.

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
