recycleActor(actor);

code without import com.stencyl.behavior.Script.*

Script.recycleActor(actor); 

computational shortcut:

Engine.engine.recycleActor(actor); 

Alternatively, if you have some bugs where killing actor at some point of your project is not working, you may use :

actor.destroy(); Engine.engine.allActors.unset(a.ID);
