I've done some cursory tests - it seems that a singleton class,
wrapped in a trace statement  *does* get removed by the compiler if it
is only referenced by the trace statements. My test code below:

//class
class com.proalias.SomeSingleton {
=09
=09private static var $instance : SomeSingleton;
=09
=09private function SomeSingleton() {
=09=09
=09}
=09
=09public function helloWorld() : String {
=09=09return ("hello world");=09
=09}
=09
=09/**
=09 * @return singleton instance of SomeSingleton
=09 */
=09public static function get instance() : SomeSingleton {
=09=09if ($instance =3D=3D null)
=09=09=09$instance =3D new SomeSingleton();
=09=09return $instance;
=09}
}

//in .fla
import com.proalias.SomeSingleton;
trace("someSingleton:"+SomeSingleton.instance.helloWorld());


Does anyone see any potential problems with this approach?

Let me know,
