Also consider whether you truly need Dictionary or not. A Weak Reference Dictionary of Classes, for example, is completely unnecessary if you have a single ApplicationDomain application. The classes are never going to be unloaded, so you don't need weak references to them.
I was able to get Spark HelloWorld to run on FlexJS without using a Dictionary because I took some shortcuts since HelloWorld is a single SWF application. Also note that, in the browsers I tested, if you put an Object as a key for an Object, the JS runtime seems to call toString() on it to get a key. And also remember that Classes and Instances are all mutable in JS so you can hang a UID on each instance/object to use as a key if you want. HTH, -Alex PS: The next thing you should look for in the code is use of weak reference listeners. I don't have a good answer for that.
