Best method to remove a sprite?

I have a game using sprites. I have a series of sprites that all share the same sprite sheet. What's the best method to remove sprites?

I don't want to dispose of the sprite sheet, since other sprites will be using it. So I'm guessing spriteSheet:dispose() is not good choice.

Would it be good to just stop the sprites and hide or move them off the stage then reuse them as needed. Rather than deleting and recreating them as the game plays?

i think reusing them will definitely be good for device memory

Thanks I tried moving them off the top of the stage when they are destroyed. Which seems to work well.

Maybe set the

obj.isVisible = false

Thanks, I knew there had to be a visible property. I hadn't noticed isVisible previously.
