I am building a website that has a separate .swf for each page of the site. Each page is loaded into shell_mc using loadMovie. When a new page loads, I run shell_mc.unloadMovie before calling shell_mc.loadMovie(newPage). I am just wondering if the unloadMovie command will destroy everything in the current page that might take up memory before it begins loading a new page.
View 1 RepliesI have a bit trouble with LoaderMax memory occupy, i have a queue, and i am keep loading images depend on user's action. if they click load more and it keep load, but i would like to clean the memory which been occupied by the previous queue (i have remove all the children been added by the loading previously). is there a way i can do it? the behavior like this.

I tried to include a free photogallery based on as 3 in to a free flash template site. Now, if u click photogallery, the photogallery have to build up!
I have following problem: -If u click the photogallery a second time, it doesnt work correctly! (I think it has something to do with the existing objects from the first call!.. The second thing is, it uploads the pictures for the gallery 2 times. So i have 40 picture instead of 20 (20 of 20 are the same :/)....
I tried this but with no succes: (i tried to remove the objects with remove child...Its the last part of this code)....

We are building a flash based product where we need to create icons for various modules. we are having challenges in look and feel of the icons- what looks really good on Adobe Illustrator/ Photoshop looks jagged on flashPlayer. A challenge we have is that the overall screen aspect ratio and hence aspect for the icons which are relatively sized can change
we were told in discussions with some adobe folks that
a) we need to build icons which are square, and in multiples of 32 pixels.
b) use a png format
As per them, this way the pixelation is reduced and diagonal lines won't appear jagged- we still have an issue on rendering in flash player
I made a video player with a playlist. After around 45 min the sound stops! The video continues playing. I play short clips (about 3 to 4 min each). The player is based on 2 frames: Frame 1 defines the variable VidReference with the filename:
[CODE]...
Once the video is done playing it goes to Frame 1 (to put the new value to the VidReference variable) and goes back to frame 2 to play the new video. Am I supposed to delete the video object each time it loads a new video? Am I actually declaring a new video object each time I'm looping (frame 1 > 2) and adding each video to the RAM, and in the end overwhelming the flash player? I've heard about garbage collecting but I wouldn't know how to delete the video object so it is cleared (and the video itself too) from the memory. When I check System.totalMemory it's adding up each time a new video is loaded, I can't figure out how to delete old videos from the memory.
I have an old project in AS2 with a video player that plays mp4s. I've noticed that FF tends to continue to eat up memory even after the video has stopped or has finished loading. I also am noticing jerky playback which I think has something to do with the memory leak.
ActionScript Code:
var server_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
server_nc.connect(null);

I'm quite confused on what differences there can be between different versions of the flash player. Since I started coding my last game I've been testing it on chrome and firefox with good results (flash player 10.3.xxx). The memory needed to run it is always around 20 MB and also the cpu usage is pretty low. Also with the player 11 beta on ie the memory needed is around 50 Mb. But when i try to test it on the flash player 10 something is not working, the memory used by the game keeps growing and the garbage collection seems to be in holiday. Can this be related to the fact i'm coding it with the last cs5 (in as2)? Or since it's a board game i needed some listeners that could create this problem?
View 0 RepliesIs this at all possible? I just finished re-building my entire portfolio site in AS3 because I can't change the frame rate for loaded content in AS2. Now I find out after completely rebuilding this thing that AS2 content gets stuck in Flash Player 9's memory and won't erase on Loader.unload. All my work from years back is in AS2.
View 0 RepliesI'm having real problems with unloading external SWFs, I've spent 2 days looking for a solution and looking at this forum and using the code supplied and Flash help files and much much reading and trying, I still cannot achieve the desired results.I have a Menu.swf which hosts many buttons which loads External SWFs ... simple enough and fairly common.These External SWFs are the same size as the menu and so loads completely over the top of Menu.swf which is exactly what I want to happen.I have a button on these External SWFs which I want to, delete the External SWF from the Flash player's memory and remove all event listeners (which I guess will happen if the External SWF is deleted from memory)The reason why I want it to remove the movie completely from memory is that I have 18 items and by the time it loads the 18th item, the player is going slower then trying to swim in hummous.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a 180mb SWF which is a lecture from one of my online classes, when i try to watch it i can watch about 20 minutes and then it will run out of memory. I watched in my task manager as Flash player went from only using 20mb to upwards of 500mb to 1000mb and it kept going up, it's like the more i watch it just keeps going up and up. Tried it on 3 different computers and still get the same problem, is there some reason this would be happening? Why does flash player eat up so much memory? I have Adobe Flash CS4 installed so it's playing through the player not a web browser or anything. (tried it in web browser and it does the same thing)

clip.removeChild(clip.getChildAt(0));
completely remove the child of clip at 0 index? I read somewhere you should set to null to all the references to that clip, but I have no other reference in my code. The clip at 0 was added via a regular addChild().
I have an FPS monitor running and notice that I am getting choppiness here and there, bringing my game from 40 to 27 fps and back and forth at certain stages. I have an idea of where it is happening, but do not know for sure. I looked up quite a few memory monitors but haven't found anything decent yet. Is there a memory monitor that allows you to see the memory leaked and find its location? If not, how about just he memory leaked?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to have a movie unload in a different scene using this bit of script:
if (ct == 15) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("winner");
unloadMovie(this.parent.wally);

The movieclip is called "wally". It is just not working.
I am having a similar issue to this post except that I am using only AS2 at the moment.[URL]..I call a swf file to load into a loader like this music_mc.loadMovie("music/song.swf").
When I unload the movie clip like this: music_mc.unloadMovie() and try and load it again, it does not want to load again.
I have a set of buttons on a map that when clicked load in a zoomed version jpg file into an empty movie clip. When the loaded jpg / mc is clicked, I want the loaded movie to fade out as it unloads. The fade in is working fine, but I've tried several examples I've found online for the fade out and none of worked yet.

I'm a student web designer from Toronto, ON working on a flash interface for an art show.In our flash file (AS 2.0), I need a piece of code to constantly check a set of variables. If the variable reaches 2, I want it to unload the current movie, therefore I also have a set of buttons which each increase the current variable by +1 every time they are clicked. Therefore once 2 buttons were clicked, the movie would be unloaded.[code]

Because the swf_loader are mp3 player and if i change page wihout having press the stop button first the music is still playing. I have try to just add swf_loader.unloadMovie(); on every other keyframe but it doesnt work. i guess i have to find out where this swf_loader exist/is included right?
im making this website in AS2 using SWFaddress for the first time. everytime a new page in flash is requested trough swfaddress i need the menu to be remade, so i unload the previous menuitems en load new ones.
the problem is if the unloadmovie works the new items aren't made, but if i reload that same page it will show. so when items are unloaded new ones aren't made and if no items are there to be unloaded new ones are made...
here's my code
ActionScript Code:
function createMenuNow(){
trace("_______create menu now_______");

Is there a way to create something like an "on unloadMovie"-script?

I am trying to incorporate the facility to recover an object that has been deleted by the user. When he presses delete, i unload the movieclip. So if I want to recover it, complete with its last width, height, x and y positions, how do I do it? Is there some inbuilt function? or do I have to use some programming to do it, like save the object properties before deleting and all? The object could be any one of about 5-6 of them in my library, so knowing at run time which one to attach is impossible. So I need something to recover exactly the movie clip that was unloaded. I don't think attaching a new one and setting its properties will work. Very simply, I could just set the _visible to false when he presses delete, but then, thats not a very good practice I feel.

View 1 RepliesI am attempting to create a swc file that is CLEAN; meaning a .swc files without odd symbols included as classes and whatnot. I am able to not include undesired external classes so that's not a problem, that is working fine. The problem is that I have found that if any of my movieclips have a stop(); on them (and presumably any other as code) those movieclips show up as classes in my .swc library which I really would not like to see. I want my class to have only it's main class visible without any extra classes generated by flash.
For example: I have a movieclip with a linkage to a Main class and inside that I have a movieclip called btn1 that has an animation inside with a stop at the end. When I export the .fla as a .swc I get my main class in the library as com.test.display.Main but then in addition I also have the flash generated class in there as test_fla.btn1. I didn't create this class so I don't want it in there
