How to remove displayObject completely?

code:

1
2
3
4
        local tile = display.newImage("my_image.png")
        print(tile)     <---- return something like "table: 0x475c70"
        tile.parent:remove(tile)
        print(tile)      <-----same as above "table: 0x475c70"

tile = nil

That should set it up for garbage collection, I think...

set object to nil or null

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

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) <-----

C

Thanks
