There's De Monster Debugger: http://www.demonsterdebugger.com/

FWIW - most memory leaks I've seen are the result of using strong referenced listeners - ie:

someObject.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, someFunction);

as opposed to:

someObject.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, someFunction, false, 0, true);

With a game where you potentially add all kinds of objects to the screen dynamically, you really need to be careful and use weakly referenced listeners.
