If i make clipA addChild clipB, one will have some kind of reference to another, but clipB is NOT a property of clipA, rigth?  
But if i edit clipA and drag clipB inside, clipB will be a property of clipA,rigth?And will be a ‘child’ of clipA even not being addChilded  
Now…those seems like stupid questions but i still have a bit of confusion about it in my head, cos in AS2 this is all the same

Now, Dictionaryes,if i use objA as a key to a Dictionary, does that count as one more reference for the objA?I mean, will i have to delete that dictionary too to erase A from memory?  
Thanks in Advance
