Description

Steps to reproduce:

I dont know if this is expected behaviour or not.

1.
the following code

in my model i have an instantiated class 'assets' and embed 2 images

[Embed(source="red.png")]
public var Red:Class;

[Embed(source="red.png")]
public var Red:Class;

in a view I have an <mx:image with it's source set to one of the embedded assets

<mx:Image id="anIcon" source="

{asset.Red}

" />

Then create a Timer, say every 10 seconds.

In that timer toggle the .source property of the mx:image 'anIcon'

[Timer, toggles image source]
{
anIcon.source = asset.Red;

then, on next pass

anIcon.source = asset.Black;

then on next pass back to first
}

• I only expect to see 1 instance of each the of asset.Red & asset.Black in profiler

Actual Results:

When looking at the instances with profiler:

on each pass of the Timer a new instance of either 'asset.Red' or 'asset.Black' is created
after a few minutes there are lots of instances of each asset

Expected Results:

only a single instance of 'asset.Red' and 'asset.Black'
with the mx:image .source having it's reference changed.

Workaround (if any):
