undefining variables

And if not the delete command, maybe setting the value to undefined:
on(release)
{ _root.myVarName = undefined; }

delete variableName;

I guess you're talking about the Var field in the Property inspector for
each text field, right? Personally, I would go with the TextField.text
property of each text field. To me, that makes more sense than linking text
fields to a variable. Not saying it's wrong -- there's nothing wrong with
what you're doing (assuming I've even guessed right!) -- but ehh, for what
it's worth, that's my tiny soapbox.

What if you set those variables to empty strings?

You can delete variables (see the delete entry of the ActionScript
Language Reference), but that might just set their values back to null.
Worth a shot, though.
