Hi,

I made a class (which extends sprite) that has a game I created in it, I add it using:

```auto
gameS:Game = new Game(this.stage,mp3,id);

```

But when I use:

```auto
delete this;
this.parent.removeChild(this);

```

(inside the class), it is not visible but functions inside are still operating. This is a public class with public vars. Am I using the wrong type for the class or am I deleting and removing the class/sprite incorrectly?

Thanks!
