@Steven,
I know anonymous functions are horrible, but I was trying to anything to get
the GC to pick it up.
I'm really just testing, to see how GC might react, and how the weak event
listeners work. I know mediocre practice (and higher) you need to remove
event listeners. I was just wondering, I'v
I make destroy methods, avoid using extra references to listeners and am
compulsive about cleaning them up, still some continue to execute
imperviously.
I hate when this happens cause its unpredictable and unexplainable.
All I know is the "Real" garbage collectors are sometimes late picking
up
No, it's not true. You're misunderstanding how weak listeners work, how
anonymous functions work (you shouldn't use those anyway), and you're also
misunderstanding how the garbage collector works.
Whenever you addEventListener, immediately write a function that removes the
event listener (suc
So I used the LocalConnection hack to force GC to run, and it cleaned up the
object. I was not aware that GC might not run because there isn't enough of
a reason to.
If I had put this code into a fairly large application, GC would have more
of a reason to run and thus probably end up cleaning up th

I have tried this on the main timeline, and in a document class, but GC
never cleans up the object. Why?
There is no set time when it will run. It runs when Fla

When the code below is run, the eventListener still fires. I was under the
impression that it would not because the eventListener uses a weak
reference, and thus get garbage collected.
