So what would be wrong with always using strong references and always deleting them when you're done? That's what I do - I feel like I have more control over what's going on in my code that way. Sure, if I forget to remove it, it could still be out there, but if you get in the habit of always removing them when they are no longer needed, it's second nature. To me, it makes sense that it defaults to false because of the problems already mentioned.

Yes, but it can also cause a lot of trouble when used. I have had causes where the event listener got deleted too early and then you spend a lot of time finding the issue. And that was not with the Loader-class and Event.COMPLETE or others. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
