- fixed some garbage collection issues with interpolations:

* FInterpolator depended on external references to prevent its content from getting GC'd.
* none of the pointers in the interpolation objects were declared to the GC.

The result of these issues was that changing anything about the life cycle of interpolation objects caused corrupted memory crashes when a level was changed.
