I'm glad it works this way, because I can reuse my variables.
When I'm done I can call "delete"

Hey!
Recently I was surprised with Flash environment behavior.
Just want to share with you my observations.
Look at this very simple code:
//Create a clip from the library and store its reference to "mc" variable.
var mc:MovieClip = _root.attachMovie("Star", "star_mc",
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
//Destroy the clip
mc.removeMovieClip();
//Create another star clip once again with the same name "star_mc"
//Notice that I do not assign the clip reference to "mc" variable.
_root.attachMovie("Star", "star_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
//And now I move "mc". It references the first clip, which was destroyed.
//I expect nothing to happen, but...
mc._x = 100;
The second clip moves!
That is, the second clip was referenced using "mc".
Do you know why does Flash behave this way?
My guess is that Flash keeps an absolute path to the clip inside clip
reference.
So, in my case, the clip "_root.star_mc" was found and then moved
successfully.
