One of my flash applications seems to have an issue with the timer component. For a while now, the timer would stop working after 3 weeks or so, so I finally added some code which increases a variable (acts as a counter) by 1 since the start of the timer, just to find out if it really is stopping, or if there is some other application issue. The timer stopped when the counter value was 142725. The timer is executed every 15 seconds.

This is a flash projector file, and according to task manager, the exe was only using 7,692K, so I don't think it's a memory leak.

Is there a known bug or limitation in the timer code? I don't know yet if it will always stop at that #, since it takes a while before the timer stops working, and this is the first time it halted with the new debug code.
