The term is a destructor; and, no, ActionScript doesn't have
destructors, only constructors. The closest it comes is
MovieClip.onUnload()--if your class is a subclass of MovieClip, then you
can just override that. If not, one common practice is to make a
function called destroy():
public function

This code is garbage. The delete operator operates on variables and
not on values. So delete this will just delete a variable called
this within the scope of that function. To remove an object from
