stupid question

[smeared]

if i do

var cur = this.getchildbyname("whatever");
removeChild(cur);
cur = null;


is that going to null the var cur, or the var cur represents??? how would I null that var as well if it doesn't.. thanks..

try..



trace("cur: "+cur);
trace("whatever: " + this.getchildbyname("whatever"));

I'm not sure if it stores it as a reference or not.. so hopefully that would answer your question.
(i think display objects do get stored as references...)

thread name reminded me of this quote lol.

yeah.. it traces to the object I want to null so i guess when I null it that works.. thanks
