Flex 4: does deleting an element also destroy the element?

I am dynamically adding and removing items from VGroups. When I create an item and then add it to a VGroup and then remove it from that VGroup, does it destroy the item completely? if not how can I destroy the element so that it doesn't take up memory space.

thanks!

An object is sent to the garbage collector if there are no references to that object. which means two things:



  • all container elements that include this object must remove the element (Group, Box, Container, ...)

  • all event listeners should be removed.
