[flexcoders] Error 1189: Attempt to delete the fixed property.

[devenhariyani]

hello,

I'm having some very confusing problems with memory leaks.  in one
particular function, I dynamically create a new Array(), and when i
try to delete it I get a compile time error.  a simplified version of
the function looks like:

public static function doSomething():void {
    var arr:Array = new Array();
    
    //do somestuff with the array

    delete(arr);
}

When compiling I get the error:

Error 1189: Attempt to delete the fixed property arr.  Only
dynamically defined properties can be deleted.

In a different situation, I also get similar problems.  For example,
when I have a private property that is part of my Application class i
assign dynamic data to it during the life of the app, but i cannot
delete it.
