delete


Syntax


delete (reference);


Arguments


reference The name of variable or object to eliminate.


Description


Operator; destroys the object or variable specified as the reference,

and returns true if the object was successfully deleted; otherwise

returns false. This operator is useful for freeing up memory used by

scripts, although, delete is an operator, it is typically used as a

statement:



delete x;


The delete operator may fail and return false if the reference does

not exist, or may not be deleted. Predefined objects and properties,

and variables declared with var, may not be deleted.


Player


Flash 5 or later.


account = new Object();

	account.name = 'Jon';

	account.balance = 10000;

	...

	delete account;
