No, when you click DEBUG the stopMovie event does not happen, because
the movie is still running, but with the debugger open, which is the purpose
of the debug button ;-)
Only when you then stop the movie, the stopMovie event will be sent.

Sure, it's a normal movie handler that you can call anytime from anywhere.

I alway have a global cleanUp() handler that does the object garbage 
colleciton,
clean up calls etc. The cleanUp() is one of the few only global functions I 
use,
another is the init() function. In the event handlers like startMovie or 
stopMovie
I decide, based on various conditions whether to call these handlers or not.
That way I can start a cleanUp call without having to actually stop the movie
or call the stopMovie event.

Martin.
