  Create a rule with these rules, and make sure it says ANY
  
  when self.position.x is < 0
  when self.position.x is > 480
  when self.position.y is < 0
  when self.position.y is > 320
  
  destroy actor
  
  If the actor 's position moves offscreen it will get destroyed, this is for a landscape orientation.

  You might need to tweak the parameters in jon's example.
  
  For example if your actor is 100 x 100 pixels it won't be fully off screen until its position has gone 50 pixels beyond the boundaries so you would need :
  
  when self.position.x is < -50
  when self.position.x is > 530
  when self.position.y is < -50
  when self.position.y is > 370

  a more universal method that would work regardless of the actor or scene size would be...
  
  Destroy if:
  Self.Position.X < -(Self.Size.Width/2)
  Self.Position.X > (Game.Display.Size.Width) + (Self.Size.Width/2)
  Self.Position.Y < -(Self.Size.Height/2)
  Self.Position.Y > (Game.Display.Size.Height) + (Self.Size.Height/2)
