Hi, A week references to an event handler is being created in the UIComponent.
// Register as a weak listener for "change" events from ResourceManager. // If UIComponents registered as a strong listener, // they wouldn't get garbage collected. resourceManager.addEventListener( Event.CHANGE, resourceManager_changeHandler, false, 0, true); Do we care that this is never removed? Being a week reference it should be garbage collected at some point but perhaps it safer if we explicitly removed it at a guess in the removed from stage handler? Anyone have any other thoughts? Also see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33237 There a few other components that do the exact same thing. Thanks, Justin
