In short: no, it doesn’t. Flash Player virtual machine uses garbage collector concept. You don’t have direct control over memory used by objects (except for rare cases like
BitmapData.dispose()andByteArray.clear()), but you are to do some work to make garbage collecting possible. And there is no way you can have something triggered automatically when an object dies.Follow the links to learn more about GC logics.
