Can you repost your example? From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Carter Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 6:54 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Best practice for calling asynchronous functions?
For me, the question is: If I use someObj in the same way as my example above (i.e. assigning it to a local variable), when will someObj get garbage collected? Is it (potentially) when the result/fault event is dispatched or could it be earlier?
