Can't seem to remove blurred image from window

[amigoni]

Here is some code. But I can add a blurred image with no problem except some lag. But then when I try to remove it from the window. It says that it's not a child.

var mod = require('bencoding.blur');

    var blurImage = Ti.UI.createView({
        backgroundImage: worldContainer.currentWorld.toImage(),
        height: Ti.UI.FILL,
        width: Ti.UI.FILL
    });

    var blurView = mod.createView({
        height:win.height, 
        width:win.width, 
        //top:0,bottom:0,left:0,right:0,
        blurLevel:5, 
        blurTintColor: "#666666",
        backgroundView:blurImage,
        //blurCroppedToRect:true,

    });

    blurImage.blurView = blurView;

    blurImage.add(blurView);
    win.add(blurImage);
    //win.add(blurView);
    setTimeout(function(){
        win.remove(blurImage);
    },10000);

There is something strange. If the blurImage has a pointer outside of this function that creates it then it won't be removed. If it has no pointer, meaning that I don't assign the return to anything it works just fine.

var mod = require('bencoding.blur');

    var blurImage = Ti.UI.createView({
        backgroundImage: worldContainer.currentWorld.toImage(),
        height: Ti.UI.FILL,
        width: Ti.UI.FILL
    });

    var blurView = mod.createView({
        height:win.height, 
        width:win.width, 
        //top:0,bottom:0,left:0,right:0,
        blurLevel:5, 
        blurTintColor: "#666666",
        backgroundView:blurImage,
        //blurCroppedToRect:true,

    });

    blurImage.blurView = blurView;

    blurImage.add(blurView);

    /*
    function RemoveBlur(){
        win.remove(blurImage);
    }
    */

    //blurImage.RemoveBlur = RemoveBlur;
    win.add(blurImage);
    setTimeout(function(){win.remove(blurImage)},10000)

    return blurImage;

You have to null all you add to controllers, out again before you remove
them. e.g.

function RemoveBlur(){ blurImage.RemoveBlur = null; win.remove(blurImage); }

I think this will work. I have not tested it. Maybe it will not help in
your case. But, at least to remove things completly from the memmory.

return blurImage;

@colorhat I thought the same but it doesn't seem to be the issue. I will do more testing and post some good sample code this afternoon.
