Anyway.. it seems that Sprite are referenced between each other (parent-child) by weak references. So when I delete a DisplayObjectContainer with many children and subchildren, they'll all be stated for garbage collection (if they don't have any other references). That's at least what I believe after some tests with Flex Profiling. What strikes me though is that there's no documentation about all this. And it's really not obvious stuff at all. By the way, in my current project there are a lot of Bitmap instances who are all disposed without doing so explicitely (though those bitmaps are loaded, not created). Hmm... evil magic ;-) First of all, I think too that Adobe should have implemented a complete destroy() or despose() method to DisplayObject.

I'm so supprised that Adobe haven't included methods in the DisplayObject and its sub classes for clearing themselves up if you clearly want to delete them and their children completely. Of course, it's necessary to write in specific clear up operations for some custom classes, but having built in methods for quickly destroying a Sprite (and any of its event listeners, bitmaps along with their bitmapdata, loaders etc) completely would be nice. In fact, that's inspired me to write a static class for my code bin with some cleanup scripts for DisplayObjects. Nice one! Tell me about it!
