*if (this.basicNews != null) {
this.basicNews.removeEventListener(RepeaterEvent.CLICK,
this.onNewsClicked);
this.removeChild(this.basicNews);
this.basicNews.die();
this.basicNews = null;
}*
In the above code I do not see why you would need any more then the
following lines:
*basicNews = null;
removeChild(basicNews);*
All references to basicNews are now removed and it is (along with its
children) marked for garbage collection. Calling the other extra methods
seems a waste of CPU.
