aloha,
there are some other issues associated to using static members that
you should take into account.
Personally, I only use static members for constants.
take a look at this short description

An object that is declared static goes on the class object instead of on the
instance object. In general there is only one copy of the class object in
memory so a variable declared there will save you some space. So if you are
talking about things like constants a static variable is a good thing to
use. A function on the other hand generally does not take so much memory
that you get a lot of benefit out of it being static. So if the function is
truly a utility, fine, make it static, but don't try to go optimizing code
by changing functions on a class into statics, you won't see much benefit.

Subject: [flexcoders] Doubts about static keyword
Can anybody please explain me how the static keyword works in Flex. As
per my understanding staic variable or a method is created in memory
just once and is shared after that.
If i create a static method in a Actionscript class, is it actually
created just once in memory?.
Is it similar to javascript functions which are created on loading of the
page?
Does having static methods really save memory usage.
Thanks in advance.
Pradeep
