Description
Releases an object from memory. This function searches the specified object and all its properties

Creating auto-release blocks
Rather than constantly tracking which objects to release and how to relase them, you can define
blocks of code where you access the Fireworks DOM. In these blocks of code, the ActionScript
stubs can keep track of all the proxy objects allocated. Then, at the end of the block of code, a
single command will automatically release all objects allocated in the block.
Here is an example:
RPCMethods.CreateAutoReleasePool();
var selObject = fw.selection.get(0);
RPCMethods.DestroyAutoReleasePool();
Calling the
CreateAutoReleasePool()
and calling the
DestroyAutoReleasePool()
between these two calls is released by calling
functions, you can write ActionScript code and not worry about memory management.
