I wasn't quite thinking that way, but in theory, if you put a weak reference listener on a timer to a method in the object and had it trace out, it would stop tracing after it got collected. You won't know the moment it got collected, but just that it went away at some point.
I was thinking you'd put the object in a Dictionary with weak references and on a timer, scan the dictionary to see if it is still there or not. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of arieljake Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 5:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: checking if an object is being garbage collected are you saying that if i start a timer inside of a class that i expect to be garbage collected, that even if the timer still has intervals left to repeat, the object will still get cleaned up and the timer with it? --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Essentially, no.
