When u create a binding from object A to B, a reference is added to A. (A keeps a reference to B). It will not be garbage collected until you unwatch the changeWatcher it or delete A.
So if your concern is whether u need to keep a reference to ChangeWatcher object returned by mx.binding.utils <http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/binding/utils/package-detail.html>. bindSetter <http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/mx/binding/utils/BindingUtils.html#bindSetter%28%29> , the answer is no, you dont need to keep a reference to CW. yigit Alex Harui wrote: > > I think you have to call unwatch otherwise the CW may not get GC’d > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > *On Behalf Of *Josh McDonald > *Sent:* Tuesday, August 19, 2008 10:57 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [flexcoders] Question about binding via AS > > Hey guys, > > If you create a binding via AS, will the binding "stop" when the > returned ChangeWatcher instance is garbage collected?
