Usually I just track them down, figure out where my setInterval calls
are and try to plot out in what situations they aren't being cleared.
You could also put some trace calls in the classes or methods you think
are clearing, and if it stops tracing then you know it's gone from memory.
Additionally you might want to look into better organizing your
setInterval. Maybe put them in an array that you can query. When you
clear the interval set that index to null. You could trace the array
and see all the non-null values. Maybe you could also make a class to
manage your setInterval calls better. A clearAllIntervals method in a
interval management class could help out a great deal.
I've also had problems before with Delegate memory leaks. There was a
great article on Delegate memory management in the last year or so - I
can't remember where it was, but you can find a similar one here:

Hi Flashcoders,
What techniques do list members use for tracking down memory leaks in AS2?
It's a problem with repetitive functions called by setInterval events.
It's slow and cumulative but if you leave it on you can see the PF and Mem Usage, creep up.
Can anyone out there share any of their tips, I'm tearing my hair out here,
Thanks,
Michael
