My question is as simple as the title, yet googling it didn't give me a simple yes/no answer.

In short: no, it doesn't. Flash Player virtual machine uses garbage collector concept. You don't have direct control over memory used by objects (except for rare cases like BitmapData.dispose() and ByteArray.clear()), but you are to do some work to make garbage collecting possible. And there is no way you can have something triggered automatically when an object dies.
