Undestroyable textures

[canvasman]

If I have a lot of objects in my stage and I want to destroy whole stage with its children what would be good way to exclude some of textures or base textures from being destroyed? Should I remove them with removeChild before I will do stage.destroy(true) or could I NOOP destructive functions somehow in chosen textures? Looks like PIXI.Texture.WHITE has something like this going here https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/blob/dev/packages/core/src/textures/Texture.js#L567

Could that removeAllHandlers() functions be used in my situation? Also why is .on, .once and .emit NOOPed, isnt .destroy enough?

Yep, its a problem. I use custom destroy because of that, based on refCount and some other techniques, like counting added_to_Stage and removed_from_stage events that dont exist in pixi. We dont have general solution for it, however I can mention that "dispose()" is better than destroy() for textures, but you only find a few objects that support it, you have to build your recursive functions on top.

Destroy is nooped too. https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/blob/dev/packages/core/src/textures/Texture.js#L569
