RE: [flexcoders] Re: Tools for listing objects

[Matt Chotin]

We’ve been thinking about trying to expose a tool that would give you an accurate count of objects but it’s not something near-term.  If the object is not on the display list (not in raw children) but is still sticking around then you clearly have a reference to it somewhere.  Typically it would be an event listener that wasn’t added with a weak key or something that is referred to by another class that is on the display list.  Unfortunately I don’t have a good technique for finding those L   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jeff tapper Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 12:47 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Tools for listing objects   Darn, I've been able to prove to myself that the object can still exist in memory but not be in the rawchildren. How can i get a handle on these orphans? Do I need to resort to creating a Dictionary Object with weak keys, and store an reference of every object created in there?
