Hi Steven, Where in Grant's post does he say that Adobe refuses to fix this problem? I must have missed that part. If anyone from Adobe has made such a statement, please point it out to me, because I'd have a bone to pick with that person.
Grant's post is helpful because he discusses the issue in such detail, but it would be even more helpful to have a concrete test case that exhibits this problem. As Muzak suggested earlier, please take a look at the new Flash Player public bugbase. There's currently a bug titled "Memory leak in AS3": https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-49 If this bug report describes the same problem that you experience, please register on the site and vote for the bug. If it doesn't describe what you are experiencing, please help us out and file a new bug report that describes your problem and upload test files if at all possible.

No they are not. In fact, their absolute refusal to fix it is the reason for Grant's post. If you want it fixed, you're going to have to put pressure on Adobe, which they have certainly earned with this. Talk about it on every online forum and blog. Point to Grant's blog entry. Expose the huge memory leak in the player. Talk about how it has crippled AIR as a legitimate desktop application platform. Make major companies like Disney and Turner wary of using AS3 for their Flash sites. Think about the line about automobile recalls in Fight Club. "A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one." Unless this affects Adobe financially or embarrass them publicly in the tech industry, they aren't going to do anything about it.
