ActionScript 2.0 :: Clear Memory Or Unload A Swf File Through Html Or Through The Main Menu Swf?
Jan 21, 2004
I have a menu and each button reveals a hidden layer which includes it's submenu (another swf).The submenus have sub-submenus in the same swf.When I take the mouse away from these layers the submenus hide again.All these work.The problem is that when a sub-submenu is opened and then the layer hides, when it's shown again the sub-submenu is still opened.Is there a way to clear memory or unload a swf file through html or through the main menu swf?

I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

My project is PC software and not related to web.It contains of Main menu and 3 external SWF (Total 4 Files).Inside the Main-Menu 3 buttons , when the user click on button # 1 or # 2 or # 3 I want a code to unload the main menu first then open external swf # 1 or #2 or #3 depending on which button user click.I use this code to load the external SWF:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("f1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
Its working fine but the problem it load the external swf with the main menu in the same time! what I want a code first unload Main-menu then loading external swf. and another code in external SWFs to exit to Main-Menu with ofcorse unload the swf first then exit to main-menu.

I can load the image by pressing the green button (see attached file). However, How do I UNLOAD the same image by clicking onto the image, rather than adding another button on my main flash file. This means that as soon as the image is loaded, the user can click on the same image to unload it.

The code below works but NOT properly. After few minutes, the flash animation slows down and also any other program that is running in the computer. I suspect that these routines flood the memory ( probably the stack memory because it uses recursion ) which then starts using slow virtual memory. There are two recursive processes initiated by two Timer types (Timer_1 and Timer_2 ) of addEventListener(). The functions that they call use a lot of.draw(0 and .clone() methods to manipulate memory-demanding bitmaps.For clarity sake I removed the lesser relevant part of the code.How to dynamically clean memory inside these routines and avoid them flooding computer's RAM memory?[code]

i have a movieClip. On it i draw a few rundedRects, when i resize the window i use graphics.clear to remove it, and then reDraw the Rects. Will this result in memory leakages? or will flash reuse the memory address as long as i draw on the same sprite?

I have a question how can I clear/free memory in flash? For example I am finishing game and I want to start from beginning and if I will just jump to the first frame all the objects there are still in this memory, is any possibility to force cleaning memory? Can I free memory for an object? for example I removeChild(something) - and I want to free memory for an object as I will reuse it? How the engine works?

I've created and empty movie clip named "movieHolder" as a container to load in external swf files.
the intent is to load and unload different swf files into the "movieHolder" container with the following button code.
//---------
this.createEmptyMovieClip("movieHolder", this.getNextHighestDepth());
buttonOne_btn.onRelease = function():Void {
[Code]....
Selecting - buttonOne- loads the external "galleryOne.swf" file as expected, but when buttonTwo is selected it should unload the "galleryOne.swf" file that is currently loaded in the container and load the "galleryTwo.swf" file in its place.
when buttonTwo is selected it loads the "galleryTwo.swf" file and you see it for just a second, but the "galleryOne.swf" file returns to the display.
Does unloadMovie remove the targeted file from the flash player memory? It not, how do I dump it?

I tried a search but it keeps saying I failed the No Spam when I didnt get a question - d'oh. Ok, this has probably been covered before, but a lot of research hasn't got me far, so I thought I'd post. I have a single page html site with several links that load up a homebrewed lightbox. The inline content is written out at the bottom of the page and the divs are set to hidden.
When a link is clicked, the light box loads and the correct <div> is set to visible. The flash plays, or is interacted with but when the user has finished, they click an html Close button and the div is hidden again. Obviously the swf is still loaded and running; it could be even mid animation. The more swfs loaded, the more memory that is taken up.
My development machine can handle the 600mb + used up by have a few FF windows open and a couple of copies of the site; but I imagine it will cause problems for users. So I've been looking into externalInterface to fire a command into the swf to close itself down when the close button is clicked, but I can't seem to find anything

I'm struggling to understand this, so I'm hoping someone can explain how to further enhance the functionality of my simple unload function, or maybe just point out some best practices in unloading external content.

I am trying to unload a class from memory using the following experiment:Create a shape on stage, make a movieclip out of it, add a trace in the first frame, extend the movieclip to be about 40 frames, give the movieclip a linkage name "test" and remove it fromstage.Experiment 1:Add the following code to the stage:ActionScript Code:var mcl = new test();Publish the movie. You should see the trace statement showing up all the time.Now I wish to delete this instance.Experiment 2:ActionScript Code:delete mcl;gives an error that it cannot delete a fixed property and have to set it to null instead.Experiment 3:
ActionScript Code:
mcl = null;
No error, but still see the repeating trace output.

I'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]

I have a menu that is populated by XML, I'd like to know how I can clear that menu to load another one in it's place.
I can get the other menu to load but it's adding itself to the previously generated menu:
so let's say I have an XML document that has <menuItem> nodes that have nodes within them named [this is the default menu][code]...
how can i clear the XML or for loop that created the buttons so that the newly loaded menu from the newly loaded xml is the only menu that is displayed and not tacked on to the existing menu?

I have an external swf, which uses an interval to space out the loading of JPEGs.
This swf is loaded into the main swf using the movieclip loader class. I unload the external swf when a button is pressed - and I am also attempting to clear the interval at this point. However, it's not working for me - when I click on another button to go back to the frame that loads the external swf, it is obviously running additional intervals. The JPEGs start loading faster and faster.
This is my code:
External swf -
PHP Code:
var fadeInterval:Number = setInterval(fadeIn, 750);
Main swf -
PHP Code:
var mclLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
createEmptyMovieClip("external", 3);
mclLoader.loadClip("flashElements/pics_home.swf", external);
[Code]....
Now the second bit of code is what I've come up with after trawling the internet for answers. I've come across more than one forum where people are having this exact problem, which is seemingly fixed by the above. However for me, no dice.

I have created an XML driven Drop Down menu using the kirupa tut by Senocular found here. I am trying to figure out how to get the submenus to push the rest of the main menu down on rollover kind of like this. Not sure where to start to get the AS to get the button created fromt he XML nodes to move down.I haven't changed the code found int he tut too much and the menu works fine except that the rollovers just go over the main menu.

I am looking at creating a menu with three movieclip buttons on a main menu. I want to keep these buttons on the top of the screen at all times. I am opening different swf's and I want to make sure that the buttons are still showing. I know there is something with changing or swapping the depth of the movie clip when it loads the new swf's in, but I have not found anything that is seeming to work.

I'm working on a web menu, that has sub menus. I'm currently trying to get the sub menu to jump back to the main menu if the mouse is no longer inside the submenu zone.
It works if I move the mouse quickly to another part of the Flash area, but if I quickly move it out of the Flash area and onto say the html document, it doesn't update fast enough, and thus still thinks the mouse is hovering over it.
I know I can simply update the movie frame rate which does work, but I was wondering if there is any way to get Flash to check to see if the mouse IS ACTUALLY ACTIVE over it, and if not close the submenu?

Does anyone know how to, or of any tutorials that have drop down menus like this:[code]I don't mean the way it moves around, but how the sub-menus load underneath.I want to create a horizontal navigation where you click on a main button, and a sub-menu loads underneath the main navigation. Then I want the same for the other buttons. But I can't figure out how to get the first sub-menu to unload when the new sub-menu loads.

I have a main swf that loads 12 other swf files. The loading works. What I need is closing what just loaded. I created a close button Btn1 on all 12 other loaded files. It looks fine but if you keep clicking in a different names the speed of the main swf slows down each time.
Code for Btn1 in all 12 files :
Btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick1);
function buttonClick1(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(16);
};
I am not sure if I need to add an unload on my main swf or on the 12 other file instead of the gotoAndStop. Here is the url to the project. [URL].

I've just recently made the leap from AS2 to AS3 and after several days of reading the CS4 help and searching posts here, I'm still at a loss how to get my first AS3 project off the ground.I'm working on an illustrated choose-your-own-path story with each step split into seperate swfs to speed up loading time.I've got a main file loading a scene swf using.[code]The loading works fine (although I've just found a post that suggests I should wait until the swf loads before adding it as a child), but how would I then get the buttons in the loaded swf to tell the main swf which swf to load next?I'm stumped firstly by that, and additionally by how I should then UNload the swfs. Is it not common practice to refer to objects by their '.name' in AS3? Should I be loading the swfs into an array?
