It seems that, when I define a Vector, typed to a non-native class (myClass), the module (loaded from SWF) in which I do that, sticks in memory forever. It has been on three different occasions during profiling / debugging that this occured. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there some workaround?

for example

var myVec:* = new Vector.(4,true)

however

var myVec:* = new Vector.(4,true) // no problem

???

Santosh, if you want to use push the entries onto the vector, you don’t need to initialise the length, you can just create an empty vector and start pushing the entries on.

Hi ,
I learn a lot about Vector from your tutorial but I do want to ask you one question

var vect:Vector. = new Vector.(3);
//let say I have MovieClip named mc1,mc2 and mc3

//if i do this
vect.push(mc1,mc2,mc3);

trace(vect)
//it will give null,null,null,[object MovieClip],[object MovieClip],[object MovieClip]

What I am trying to ask is all we have to use is
vect[0] =mc1 and so on
