I'm not clear the player is leaking as much as the profiler is showing references that it shouldn't.
In the profiler, you will see strings with no backreferences. I don't worry about those, and only worry about ones with backreferences. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shlomic_thailand Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 2:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Memory leak in UIDUtil.createUID() Hi you were right, i've made a test with periodically creating new UID with timer (10000 times each tick) and the was no problem on FF and IE when i installed the release version. BUT - this is shame from adobe to release a player in debug version which has leaks in it, first of all - we spent a week for nothing. second - how can a developer write something and make sure his code is not leaking ? if he needs to install/reinstall a different version every time. but at least we don't have a problem.
