as3 remove defininton from applicationDomain

Question

how to remove defintion from the applicationDomain !

In my test I removed all references about one class but the definition is still exist in the applicationDomain, how to remove it, because I think it occupy my memory~

by the way, I use the Profile tool in flash builder 4.6, after gc the class instance num is 0, but the definition is still exist in the applicationDomain.

very thanks if anyone can help me !

Once you imported a definition into an application, unfortunately you cannot remove class definition. I just see two hacks :

• Make a new ApplicationDomain and add only wanted classes
• Play with runtime generated bytecode to create a new ApplicationDomain with the classes you needs (with http://www.as3commons.org/as3-commons-bytecode/index.html)
