Snapshot of Profiling profiling_snapshot_which_shows_memory_leak

as you can see, in profile, i have 21 orphan objects which won't recyle and profiling shows me that at saved at line no 12 while line no 12 is creation_complete event and i have removed it.

Thanks in Advance

i have used DataGroup as parent component and i have define above itemRenderer in itemRenderer property of the DataGroup, and in dispose function i have define DataGroup.itemRenderer is null in DataGroup. so it will eligible for GC. and i see that now no instance of itemRenderer is in memory.
