It's possible that there is a memory leak in ExternalInterface, but this 
is not an haXe specific problema and you should get exactly the same 
results while using Flash. If you're using the Debug Player, that might 
also be the cause (?). Maybe ugrading to Flash Player 9 would help there.

Right now use :

Reflect.setField(sender,"element","");

This will be fixed in haxe 1.05
