title: Set event.target to null
body: <p>I want to nullify the event.target for garbage collection as the moveclip is no longer needed. What I have roughly is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, destroy);
  
   public function destroy(event:MouseEvent):void {
  
  
         event.target.parent.removeChild(event.target); 
  
         event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, destroyShape);
  
         event.target = null; //THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE
  
  
     }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm sure this is relatively simple but I'm not sure how to do it.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
