trouble removing movieclips in as2. I am removing the movieclips but something is storing a reference to them either a 'loop' clip used for lite tweening or the 'EventsWrapper' class that all my classes extend from to have simple listeners.

Does

EventDispatcher.initialize(this);

clear the array holding events?

is there anyway to track references to a movieclip or atleast cut them so I can remove the movieclip.

I found it I had some listeners on a timelineController that was ref to a movie on the stage, I just deleted the instance and recreated it and all was fine.
