null objects variables when kill() is called

[royibernthal]

When kill() is called in an object that for instance extends Sprite, should I manually null custom variables I added to it?

 

If so, is there a way to override the kill function - nulling the object then calling super.kill()? Or is there some kind of function call when an object is killed? (e.g. onKill())

There is Sprite.events.onKilled signal. But take note that Kill() does not removes the Sprite. It just sets its exists, alive and visible variables to 'false'. To completely remove the Sprite use destroy().

I understand, so is there an onDestroy signal as well?
