I'd be interested in tools for monitoring this too. To avoid holding onto objects through addEventListener, have you tried the weak reference option? We've been using that increasingly as the default way to add listeners, so objects don't hang around when we think we're finished with them.

I have more of an application than a flash file and things start to slow down after a while. I'm thinking the garbage collection mechanism in flash isn't deleting the objects which aren't needed anymore. I was able to improve performance somewhat by overriding addEventListener to put the event listener into an array of objects which I then reference values from. When a SuperMovieClip object is removed from the stage an event listener for that event goes through the array and removes each of the listeners. If it is added to the stage again all the listeners are re-added from the array. Theres some other slow downs I can't account for. It would be nice if there was a debugging tool or something so I could see what types of objects are in memory at any time so I can see whats not getting deleted and what keeps taking up resources. I am especially interested in however strategies for dealing with the issues of instantiation, deletion, events, for resource optimization.
