So when they release those articles on devnet, you probably shouldn't bookmark them intending to come back and read them when you have time to breathe and can ingest it. Just make the time now. Had I read the articles in detail, I would have immediately known what the issue was that I was troubleshooting.
When I heard about the new approach to garbage collection in the new Flash, i thought - that makes sense. I wasn't wary of it like I might be the new security sandbox restrictions - where you might have to make changes to accomodate for it. I thought great,improvement in performance, thank you very much MM. Today I ran into an issue tho, that had to do with the new garbage collection. Its pretty big to explain , but needless to say once I figured out the reference was still lingering about creating a problem - then it was pretty easy to solve. But it had me scratching my head - why would this be fine in flash 7 and not 8.
Makes me wonder how many other things will be affected as a result. In theory if you take out your own trash you don't have to depend so much on Flash cleaning up after you. Anyone experience new bugs as a result of the new garbage collection approach and if so what are they and how can they be avoided?
