AIR Clock Memory Leak

Hello again Flex list, My team at work has a problem with a memory leak in our application which we have narrowed down to the clock.  We have made a standalone version of our clock to illustrate the problem (flex3 bug maybe?).  Can anyone explain why this AIR app leaks memory and how to fix it? Clock.mxml :     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>     <mx:WindowedApplication         xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"         layout="absolute"         creationComplete="init();"      >         <mx:Script>             <![CDATA[                            import flash.utils.Timer;                 import flash.events.TimerEvent;                                [Bindable]                 private var dateAndTime:String;                 private var theDate:Date;                 private var theTimer:Timer;                                private function createTimer():void                 {                     theTimer = new Timer(1000, 0);                     var theEvent:String = TimerEvent.TIMER;                     var useCapture:Boolean = false;                     var eventPriority:uint = 0;                     var useWeakReference:Boolean = true;                     theTimer.addEventListener(theEvent, timerListener,     useCapture, eventPriority, useWeakReference);                     theTimer.start();                 }                                private function init():void                 {                     createTimer();                 }                                private function timerListener(event:TimerEvent):void                 {                     theDate = new Date();                     dateAndTime = theDate.toLocaleString(); //leak seems     to happen here.                 }             ]]>         </mx:Script>         <mx:Label id="dateAndTimeLBL"             text="{dateAndTime}"             right="10"             top="122"             color="#000000"              fontSize="28"              textAlign="center"              width="501"          />            </mx:WindowedApplication> Thanks for your input!

You can submit a bug to the bug base http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ DK On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 9:15 AM, David Henry < DavidHenry@coldfusionpowered.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Is there a way to remove the event listener each time the timerListener is fired? private function timerListener(event:TimerEvent):void                 {                     theTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener, false, 0, true);                     theDate = new Date();                     dateAndTime = theDate.toLocaleString(); //leak seems     to happen here.                 } but still keep the timer firing and listening for the events? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

  Have you tried using the Flex profiler to help narrow it down?

Yes, I thought that might work as well. I used: theTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerListener); But, according to the Flex 3 profiler...the timer still eats up 1kb per second. Thanks!
