OOP memory trash




  script erase itself from memory 
>Q: how do I have a script erase itself from memory?

Basically, I do it like this,
(only I usually collect those suicide calls in a list of trash 
that is emptied regularily triggered by some other event)


-- movie script

on makeObject scriptObj
  global gLpObjects
  if voidP(gLpObjects) then set gLpObjects = [:]
  set dObj = new (script scriptObj)
  set dObjId = getId(dObj)
  addprop gLpObjects,dObjId,dObj
end

on KillObject dbjId
  global gLpObjects
  set da = findPos(gLpObj,dObjId) 
  if da then deleteAt gLpObjects,da
end

--Parent script

property myId
on new me
       set myId = #SomethingSpecial
	return me
end me
on rubOut me
	killObject myId
end
