Remove Associated Elements

gistfile1.js

// Instantiate a Component
var newComponent = new Component({
  
  // Init creates domElement and associatedElements properties
  
  // Override removeElement method
  removeElement: function(){
    
    this.domElement.remove();
    
    $.each(this.associatedElements, function(){
      $(this).remove();
    });
    
    this.domElement = null;
    this.associatedElements = [];
  }
});

// Later in the application lifecycle you create a flashContainer
// and want to ensure it's cleaned up alongside the newComponent.domElement
newComponent.associatedElements.push(flashContainer);

// removeElement destroys the domElement and flashContainer.
newComponent.removeElement();
