WG: [flexcoders] Garbage collection and removeChild [Flex 2 beta 3]?

[Harald Dehn]

Is there any answer to this thread? I do have the same problems with the garbage collector.     Von: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von sourcecoderia Gesendet: Dienstag, 20.

From the documents when using removeChild the removed display item is added to the garbage collection for later removal. However I'm reusing component instances and creating new instance of the same (a sort of tabbed interface where children are created and removed at will. The listeners for the child component are removed and other objects set to null, but; it does not seem to be collected. Should one have to remove all objects created through the chain or just on the child being removed? I.e. if I instantiate a class called toto through a component called texavery and toto creates an instance of titi do I have to unload all objects created by or in the children following the entire chain texavery >> toto >> titi where each one unloads it's owned/created objects? Or is this cleaned up from the child object on down? Is there a way to force the garbage collection clean up, or destroy an object completely? I did wait to see if it unloaded 25mins and still no change in the process memory usage. However I'm only at this time unloading objects created by the child component and not it's children's objects. So unload the entire chain or just the first ? Is removeChild working properly ? How is this supposed to work, and are there any best practices in regards to this?
