Thanks for the reply, Josh. They do need to respond to mouseovers and mousedowns, so am I stuck with UIComponent?

If they don't need mouse events, base them on Shape instead.

We have an app which adds 50 or 60 dynamically created and animated
canvas-based objects to the display list as it runs. I've noticed when
running this under the profiler that even though these canvas-based
components are really simple (they have a draw function and a rotate
function in them and don't import any other classes) they each add
about 1 Mb to the overall memory consumed by the app.

I've also tried making the components UIComponent based instead of
using Canvas (as I believe it's a little more lightweight) but it
doesn't seem to make a huge difference.

Is there a better/more efficient way to dynamically create, draw,
rotate and animate a bunch of small objects in a flex app?

TIA
