This excerpt is from Colin Moock's Lost ActionScript 3.0 Weekend Course 1. In Course 1 of this unique DVD training series, you'll learn how to program in ActionScript 3.0, starting with the basics and moving into intermediate programming techniques. World-renowned ActionScript guru and educator Colin Moock presents this intimate learning experience, based on his bestselling O'Reilly book, Essential ActionScript 3.0, and his successful "ActionScript 3.0 From the Ground Up Tour."

Learn to refer to a single object from multiple parts of a program, then study the principles of memory management in ActionScript. Remember, values are not socks!

The embedded video is talking about DisplayObject as well as the DisplayList. There isn't any mention in the video about Garbage Collection.
