Hi, Just wanted to mention something I (in the comments) of one of Ted Patrick's blog posts.
He says that there's a known bug in Flash Player 9 where weak references were preventing objects from being garbage collected: http://www.onflex.org/ted/2008/09/useweakreferencesboolean-false.php >From earlier reading, I started to use weak references for when ever possible, >and thought I didn't have to worry about removing the event listeners. I upgraded to Flash Player 10, however, it still seemed like the weak refs were preventing GC (admittedly a newbie w/using the Flex Profiler). This very last comment on this JIRA bug seems to have reached the same conclusion as I have, that the issue may not be 100% fixed in Flash Player 10: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-291 Suffice it to say, I have adopted the sage advice of others on this list and now always remove any listeners that I add (weak ref or not). HTH, Sunil
