I have a flv player that seems to only work in IE and not FF?? The player works fine in the flash authoring environment. Since it does work in a browser, that eliminates its being a sandbox problem.
Does anyone know if flash loading js classes into the container browser memory?
I'm developing an AS3 application which has some memory leaks I can't find, so I'd like to ask some newbie questions about memory management.Imagine I have a class named BaseClass, and some classes that extend this one, such as ClassA, ClassB, etc.I declare a variable:
myBaseClass:BaseClass = new ClassA();
After a while, I use it to instantiate a new object:
myBaseClass = new ClassB(); some time after
myBaseClass = new ClassC();
and the same thing keeps happening every x millis, triggered by a timer.Is there any memory problem here? Are the unused instances correctly deleted by the garbage collector?
I have a class just full of random STATIC functions and vars that I use often on alot of other classes. things like the classic randRange(min, max) function. . just silly things i dont want cluttering my code My question is does importing this class into other classes increase the memory used by instances of the class. Cause i may import this class of 30 objects and only use 2 of them. I'm thinking it doesn't. But i could be wrong as I haven't found much material on flash memory usage other than garbage collector stuff.
View 1 RepliesI'm developing a FLEX application using FLEX Builder with version 3.5 SDK. The problem that I have is that the Browser consumes more and more memory until it slows down or errors. When I run the application using the Flex Builder profiler the Memory usage never gets above 15MB. As I open and close display objects the Memory is released as expected. However, looking at Windows Task Manager the browser consumes more memory every time that I open anything and doesn't release the memory when it is closed. I have tries Google Chrome, Firefox, and IE, they all do the same.
View 1 RepliesWhen I run my swf locally in the Flash Player application, its memory usage starts at around 50 Mb, and though it definitely fluctuates, it generally stays centered at around 50 Mb. Then I embed the same swf in an html page and run it in my browser (firefox). Now the memory usage starts at 20 Mb, but increases at a near constant rate until it is over 100 Mb and I need to stop it. The swf is essentially unusable in the browser because of this.
What could be the cause of this huge difference in behavior? Where should I even begin when trying to make the swf functional in the browser? EDIT: I have found what was causing the problem (sort of). A certain type of object, which gets spawned a lot during the game, doesn't respond to removeChild() correctly. As a result these types of objects were building up on the stage (but invisible) and causing the memory usage to skyrocket. This doesn't occur when I test it in CS4 or in the standalone flash player application, only in the browser. It seems like a Flash bug.
Flash CS4 using AS 2.0 for this.
Here's a simple problem I am having. I have a website made up from multiple swfs. Which open up over the index swf.
What I need to do is load 4 swf files into the memory so the transition between the page loads is smooth. The swfs are only a few kb in size but the delay in loading these (1 second) makes the transitions look very untidy. Once i've clicked on every section then the flashplayer has them stored in the cache so they run smooth, is there anyway just to load these in before the start page has loaded.
here is the website [URL]
I have a client who has a home page that I built for him. Basically there are words randomly displayed in the background. Then there are three images that rotate based on a timer. So I have two timers going. I have event listeners added to the images when the app starts. I'm moving the image off the stage when it's not visible. So I'm not adding and removing listeners over and over. However, if you watch the browser memory usage in all three major browsers it climbs several mb's in a minute. Therefore, if the user sits on the homepage the browser crashes.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to increase the height of container with increase in the number of contents inside the container. Like in my case i m using tileList inside tabNavigator , when I put contents inside the tileList, the height of tileList does not increase beyond vertical height of the viewport. It puts scrollbar on the container. I want to increase the height of an flex container with increase in the contents and introduce scrollbar on the browser with increase in contents in the flex container.

I have a loader SWF that runs some code in the background and loads other SWFs. Using this code:
private function loadScreensaver():void {
screensaverSWF = new Loader();
var req:URLRequest;
switch(areaNumber){
[code]....
I load the screensaver and add it to the stage. Using MonsterDebugger I can see that memory steadily rises from around 80mb upwards until the application exits (Im using windows projector). What I can't work out is why, there is no code attached to the screensaver SWF, just some timeline animations of things fading in and out.
EDIT:I've kept testing and found where I have an image that starts of stage then tweens on and off and is removed. When it loops it adds to memory again, as if the first image is still kept. This is all done on the timeline.
Loading images into Flex (size < 100kb) causes IE7 memory increase by a megabyte per image. What's going on here? Here is the code I have -- this for each image:

I am working on an application, using Flash CS3 + AIR, that involves some heavy content loading. I need to fetch some 140 gif files each around 400x400 in resolution and 50KB in size and display them in a TileList. The code that I am using is pretty standard stuff, (excerpts from the cellrenderer of my TileList):

I wrote the following code to check memory when loading a big image (~20Mb). Every time I do mouse click, the application eats up memory, so something doesn't get deleted or cleaned with GC but I can't figure out what exactly.

I have been working on an Actionscript 2.0 project that basically loads external images.Everytime i load and unload a new image, memory increases to 1 or 2 MBsIf all the images are in cache, then it increased to 4 or 8 KBsIn the unloading of images, I have removed loader and the container of the image.

I have an interface that needs to load in external activity pages - there's quite a few of these. I've been trying to create an external class to take care of movie loads, but it has a bad memory leak. I've been reading about using unload() and unloadAndStop() but haven't gotten these to work (there are no noticeable differences in system memory usage or performance). Everything grinds to a halt once I've used up about 13+ Mb of memory.
The document class has lots of code (of course) so I'm just showing the code that relates here:
Code:
package {
public class Interface extends MovieClip {
static public var _ui:MovieClip;

I have a problem in that i have a holder swf which loads in other swf's externally. My problem is that the holder loads all the movies in correctly but the memory usage of the swf just keeps going up and up even though i am trying to remove the movieclip after each has finished it's run.

I have a flash application running on some local machines. There are 3 movies the flash loads and plays. Each time a movie is played, it makes the amount of RAM the swf is using increase. This is being ran in a museum and users step through the 3 movies over and over and over, causing the swf to use gigabytes of RAM and eventually locking up the flash player.
Here's where I create the movie playback component.
ActionScript Code:
var flvPlayer:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
addChild(flvPlayer);
The 3 movies are on 3 different frames in the timeline, for each frame I have this code that loads each movie.
ActionScript Code:
flvPlayer.source = "resources/LADEE_overview.f4v";
flvPlayer.play();
flvPlayer.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cuepointfound);
I use the cuepoints to display some text on screen. I also call a function that does flvPlayer.stop(); each time the user navigates away from a movie frame. So is the RAM usage growing because of the flvPlayer.source = "whatever" being triggered each time the movie is called up?
I load image from url like this
Code:
imageholder = this.attachMovie("imageholder", "image", this.getNextHighestDepth());
imageholder.swapDepths(selectMenu);
loader.loadClip(uri, imageholder.bigImage_mc);
this== root, imageholder is MC that contains empty MC named bigImage_mc, selectMenu needs to be in front of loaded image (2nd line) and loader is MovieClipLoader()
Image is unloaded and removed like this
Code:
loader.unloadClip(imageholder.bigImage_mc);
imageholder.swapDepths(selectMenu);
removeMovieClip(imageholder);
but when I unload image it doesn't free any memory, and when i load new image it increase memory usage...
I even tried
Code:
System.gc();
System.gc();
after removeMovieClip(); as I found this on some website... but with no improvement
My Problem: I simply want to load a swf in a swf and then unload it. When I do this it works and cleans out "some" memory but after I unload the swf the memory usage grows a little each time. Shouldn't I be able to have this so the memory hits a limit and doesn't keep growing forever?
What I tried: I put in System.gc() for debugging to force garbage clean up, and I am testing it in the debugger in the browser.There are 2 static images in the swf that is loaded and unloaded. I feel like those images are staying in memory maybe? I am assuming that the "unloadAndStop()" should handle that though.I put an enterframe listener which I remove along with the unload button.

I've successfully managed to load an external swf file into a movie, but I don't know how to resize it or position it... is this possible?

I have typical situation where big loop is loading lots of images and its done asynchronous which make browser to frees during loading and I want to make it synchronous but having big trouble doing it.

Im creating a flash projector which has a holder swf with an empty movieclip. A series of external SWFs are loaded into the empty movieclip on the push of a button. Once the clip has been loaded, other external SWFs can be replaced in the empty movieclip at the push of a button. As memory leaks and garbage collection seem to be an issue, I was wondering the most memory efficient way of loading, unloading and replacing these external swfs so that memory leaks are kept to an absolute minimum.

View 21 RepliesIf a swf file is destined to be loaded into a container file and interacted with from there, is it considered better practice for the code for the interaction to reside in the loaded file or the container file? I am writing on the timeline, rather than creating classes. Also if a movie clip on the stage contains buttons with event listeners attached and I remove the movie clip as a child, do the event listeners disappear with it, or should i remove them separately?
View 4 RepliesOn the Mac, everything works fine. I load a .swf into an ADM Flash Player Item in the Illustrator SDK and the .swf pulls some information from an options.xml file on local machine to create the UI.On Windows the .swf seemingly won't load info from other files on the computer. I can get the .swf to load inside the ADM Flash Player Item, but it seems like it can't access the options.xml file.When I run the .swf OUTSIDE of the illustrator container, everything works as it is supposed toI thought it might be a security/permissions issue, but wouldn't that come into play even when it's run outside of illustrator
