First, make sure you are using the right view. If you are looking at loitering objects but your scenario should not be using that view, you will get false positives. I’ve explained why on my blog.
If you’re looking at a memory snapshot, I would dig further as I haven’t seen the profiler ‘lie’ in this situation yet. Remember that Flex containers are IRawChildrenContainers. There is no “children” array, and numChildren does not count borders and other chrome.

Check your event listeners because if you're not using weak references then the garbage collector won't remove it. Disregard if you already knew that one :) On May 5, 2009, at 7:58 AM, "Gregor Kiddie" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi all, I’m trying to work out where a memory leak is occurring in our application (putting me into Jeff’s hell from last week). When profiling the app, it claims there is still a back reference to its parent on the display list (even though I remove it!) at [child0]. When I debug the application, the child is removed as I’d expected, and the children array is empty. So which one is lying? The profiler when it tells me there is still a back reference to the parent as [child0] or the debugger when it tells me the child has been removed… Gk.
