Flash Garbage Collection Fail

I have been working on an IBM project for a while now. The thing that bothers me most is the garbage collection fail. Especially when it ends a global variables time cycle as a mistake. It kind of feels like an Android 2.3 phone dropping calls on a regular basis. Yeahh it gets tricky to find solutions on a platform that doesn't function as it should. The solution is of course hard coding. So if you guys come up with any problems regarding flash not functining as it is coded. Give me a call or mail, I can teach you many cheap solutions as most of us (Flash developers) do.

  1. Reference counting in objects?

  2. Sometimes it even deletes variables with global references, especially timers in many cases. I saw it skip time ticks due to CPU loads. Reference counting always helps but for Flash its not a solution =)
