RE: [flexcoders] Lifetime of _global vs Application.application

[Matt Chotin]

I think rather than storing things directly on the application or on _global I'd recommend using a singleton class.  That way you can control things a little better programmatically but still have the static reference which will exist for the life of the app.   Matt   -----Original Message----- From: sbyrne_dorado [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2004 3:03 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Lifetime of _global vs Application.application   Which has the longer lifetime: _global or Application.application; i.e. if I were to cache some information for as long as possible, which of these locations is the better choice?  I would think that _global would be, as I believe the current application can be replaced programmatically, right?
