Some version of the player used to crash when display objects that had rollover handlers under the mouse were removed and GC'd. I do not know the status of the fix. The workaround was to place a "shield" between the mouse and the display objects before removing them.
In general, I would not remove objects such that they can get GC'd until any listeners they might have were removed. I would not suspect getDefinition. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Mathews Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 3:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Player crash on GC I have run into a roadblock that I can't seem to figure out. I have an application that creates and displays a presentation (think PowerPoint). During an overhaul of the code the player started crashing. It seems to be related to garbage collection in some way as I can display the exact same page a few times in a row then it will crash say on the fourth time. Or using FB3 I can click the Force GC button after a few pages and the player will crash also. One area of concern is that these pages contain "components" which are just swf's with a class in them. I use getDefinition to instantiate the class. Although this has worked quite well up till this point, I worry that this is now part of the problem. Has anyone seen any issues with getDefinition or GC crashing the player? Thanks.
