I consider Application.application.variableName a bad practice, as it introduces tight coupling with the main application, global variables declared in the main application and accessed by child components is a no go.
Singletons could be one way, this post might help - http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/flex-actionscript-singleton-model-class Remember, there are no hard and fast rules to enforce/tell the compiler to do garbage collection, flex compiles does it with his own prerogative, but make sure you have your variables dereferenced, also singletons are not garbage collected, another very informative post of singletons here - http://www.badu.ro/?p=62 -Saurabh http://blog.saurabhnarula.com/ On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 2:14 PM, Jitendra Jain < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > Singleton Pattern -- This means there is only one object of the class that > is flowing around the application.
