[haXe] where is the trash can?

[Marcus Bergstrom]

Niel,

Make sure nothing references the object, such as listeners.
And then delete like this:

myinstance = null;
delete myinstance;

Cleanup in flash can be a bit tricky and cause a lot of problems and
headache. Specially with Singleton. Singleton is baaad, but useful
at times. The thing that happens to me more often than not, is that
I have forgotten to delete the static _instance variable to my class.

Actually, this is how you would do it in AS2, not sure if "delete" also
can be found in haxe. Maybe I'll learn something from your post here...
