Chapter 3132
Definition
Command; resets the global Flash Player used for ActionScript objects and removes any
ActionScript objects from memory. The command does not clear or reset references to those
objects stored in Lingo. Lingo references will persist but will refer to nonexistent objects. You
must set each reference to
VOID individually.
The
clearAsObjects() command affects only global objects, such as the array created in
this statement:
myGlobalArray = newObject(#array)
The clearAsObjects() command has no effect on objects created within sprite references, such
as the following:
myArray = sprite(2).newObject(#array)
Example
This statement clears all globally created ActionScript objects from memory:
clearAsObjects()

FALSE, which means the buffer is not cleared, gives an effect similar to trails ink effect. The
default value for this property is

Example

in motion will appear to smear across the stage.
