@Jason,
Yes, that is the sad truth I was hoping to avoid here. It's just another
argument for adobe developing a built in Frame class.
@Olivier,
While listening for REMOVED_FROM_STAGE is a nice trick, its just one more
listener to remove as part of clean. I'll trust myself to stop, close and

Objects removed at any key
frame therefore should be eligible for garbage collection, assuming no event
