A *very* important thing to understand about the Garbage Collector in FP9 is that it's operations are deferred. Your objects will not be removed immediately when all active references are deleted, instead they will be removed at some indeterminate time in the future (from a developer standpoint). The GC uses a set of heuristics that look at RAM allocation and the size of the memory stack (among other things) to determine when to run. As a developer, you must accept that fact that you will have no way of knowing when (or even if) your inactive objects will get deallocated. You must also be aware that inactive objects will continue to execute indefinitely (until the GC deallocates it), so code will keep running (ex. enterFrames), sounds will keep playing, loads will keep happening, events will keep firing, etc.

It's very important to remember that you have no control over when your objects will be deallocated, so you must make them as inert as possible when you are finished with them.
