The order of the removal and disposal shouldn't matter as far as garbage
collection goes (your logic might care). But the delete operator is not
to be used here. It is for removing dynamic properties. A local variable
is not a dynamic property.

Re: [Flashcoders] Known memory leaks in FP10
Hmm, thanks. Currently, I am doing the following:
if ( _element != null ) {
_element.dispose();
removeChild( _element );
_element = null;
}
Maybe I should change it to code block below? The dispose()-method tries to
stop any Timer-instances and removes event listeners and nullifies any objects
(i.e. not Numbers or ints).
if ( _element != null ) {
_element.dispose();
removeChild( _element );
delete _element;
_element = null;
}
I think it's a bit confusing for me :) I will re-watch the presentation
tomorrow.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 ComboBox breaks tabEnabled of TextFields
If my poor memory serves, you only have to set that on the container clip and not up the parent chain, as it's only important for MC's that have tabenabled children -- but you should probably test that theory as I've never applied this to the components, just MC's and imported MC's. Let me know if I'm wrong on this. Jer ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

I know he's got other articles on his site on this topic, but my google skills are failing me at the moment. Hope this helps.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS2 ComboBox breaks tabEnabled of TextFields
So, I needed to set the tabChildren = true for the container MovieClip, then it worked. question: how far up the parent-chain does the tabChildren property need to be set? All the way up to _root? If a swf is imported into a clip, does it need to get set all the way up to _level1?

Re: [Flashcoders] Known memory leaks in FP10
Hmm, I am reading 8 XML files every 30 seconds using XMLList and XML objects. Are you saying that AS3 XML objects have a big memory leak? Hopefully, the profiler will work tomorrow so I can try to hunt down some issues. If I remember correctly, I don't need to release timeline animations/movieclips manually when removing the SWF, right? As long I haven't attached any event handlers to it?
