Hello,

We are experiencing some very troubling behavior with our Flex App
running on the latest Flash player version 0,9,0,28.

I am not sure this is the right forum for this but hopefully someone
can direct me to the proper venue. 

To reproduce simply create an app that has a few TabNavigator tabs and
launch the app with your local browser – no need to serve it up from a
web server. Then wait about 1 day (without rebooting the machine) with
the web page still up and re-launch the html with the swf and then
click on the tabs – no response. It does not always happen right away
but I find that after 24 hours by doing a few web page refreshes or
launching in a new window result in the tabs hanging. 

On our application it is not necessary to leave the application up and
running for 24 hours to encounter this problem it is just sufficient
to run the app once and wait 24 hours AND once this problem occurs you
can reproduce on any other application that has tabs or menu items.

It does appear that the events are propagating but the player seems
unable to redraw the tabs. On our application this behavior is also
extended to menu items in the menu bar.

Also this problem does not occur if you run the swf in standalone mode
even after a day of continuous computer up time and even when the
problem is encountered on the web browser.  Running the same
application in standalone mode does not exhibit any of these issues.

We have been unable to repro this behavior on the flash player version
0,9,0,16 

Sometimes when closing all the Internet Explorer windows after this
problem appears I get Application Error – 

The instruction at "0x…." referenced memory at "0x…". The memory could
not be "read"

Then the same error but for - CwndSessionMonitor:iexplore.exe

FireFox also exhibits this same behavior so it is not IE specific.
Though I have never run this test by just using FireFox – I just noted
that once the problem occurs in IE it is also reproducible in the
FireFox browser.

Also we have repro this on multiple machines - but as an example here
is one machine configuration:

OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP 1
CPU: 3 ghz dual core
RAM: 4gig
HardDrive: 350gig 
Internet Explorer Version: 6.0.3790.1830
FireFox Vesion: 1.5.0.9
Flash Player Version: 0,9,0,28
Adobe Flex Builder 2 Version: 2.0.143459

Thanks for any help,
Mark

P.S. Below is the simple App I used to isolate this problem:
