[Laszlo-user] Is this a memory leak?

[P T Withington]

This looks like the memory tracer is finding this player property:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/ 
html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001989.html

 From the documentation, it seems you should not worry about this.   
 From the doc, I'm guessing the empty array is getting created when  
the tracer looks at the filters property, or perhaps it is not an  
array at all, it just looks like one to the tracer.  I guess I would  
have to special-case this in the tracer to know that the  
Button.filters property is magic.

Please file a bug.
