Is there anything like this in a compoenent class? i’ve searched and not found it. I need to be able to clean up stuff that my movies create (outside their own timeline) when n.removeMovieClip() is called. the only other way i can think of doing this is with a die() function which is used instead of removeMovieClip() but i try to stick with accepted norms as much as possible.

Any thoughts?
