Thanks Pedro,
As I said in my previous post, I'm also wondering about the effect of a
module's component consuming a dataprovider via binding to a singleton
object and the possibility of that preventing GC. I guess this touches
on the whole issue of best practices of using ModelLocator with modules.
PureMVC has it's 'Pipes' utility to inject data objects into a module,
but I'm using Cairngorm and I'm wondering how something similar could be
achieved with that framework.

The GC is not called when the component is remove from the
screen.
Most people think this occurs, but it's not truth.
The GC is called when its required, but WHEN it is required is
another point.
If you are using just a small piece of your available mamory,
don't expect the GC to be called.

Hi, why do you bind module to the model locator?
If by any chance you have embedded CSS in the module it
won't garbage collect ...

Subject: [flexcoders] Modules, Cairngorm and Garbage
Collection
I've been working on optimizing an AIR application I'm
currently working
on that utilizes modules. In the modules there are
controls bound to
ModelLocator data items.
What I'm seeing during profiling that removing a module
from the display
list doesn't seem to result in the module being GC'ed.
I'm suspecting
binding between the ModelLocator and the module's
controls are causing
the behavior.
Has anyone seen this and can suggest approaches to
address this?
