Look at the backreferences from the Button in the profiler. My guess is that the FocusManager still is hanging on to it

In the profiler it is still showing up as existing ( even after garbage collection and setting it to null etc here is a simplified example, custom butt extends standard button and does nothing else. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" xmlns:comps="*" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private var butt:CustomButt; private function rem(e:Event):void { butt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rem); removeChild(butt); butt = null; } private function init():void { addChild( butt = new CustomButt()); butt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rem); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> anyone any ideas?, is removing child elements in a flex different to standard AS 3
