How to remove displayObject completely?

Solar2D Lua Language
#1

code:

local tile = display.newImage("my\_image.png") print(tile) tile.parent:remove(tile) print(tile)

I think the displayObject “tile” is not really removed.
How can I remove the displayObject completely ?

#2

tile = nil

That should set it up for garbage collection, I think… [import]uid: 5708 topic_id: 686 reply_id: 1372[/import]

#3

set object to nil or null

I have try it before, because it works for Flash Lite/ Flash , but not Corona. :frowning:

It will got runtime error message in Corona terminal.

once you set it to nil, don’t reference it anymore.
meaning, don’t do

print(tile)
