This is a misconception. AS3 actually had great garbage collection, and solidly written AS3 code did not leak.

Flex player leaked memory like a sieve. After one day or so it would hang the computer. Maybe it was wrongly written, but leak it did. I have experienced it first hand.

Maybe it was the standalone flex player instead of the web Flash player?

    My memory is a bit fuzzy, do not remember flex player, did you mean AIR?
