ActionScript 3.0 :: Browser Not Releasing Memory?
May 31, 2010
I'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.

When 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 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 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.

I have been working on this vrTour viewer as my learning project for flash and pretty much have the thing complete... However, one thing I'm interested in doing is making it continue the onMouseDown command until the user releases the mouse button regardless of if the pointer is over the swf or is outside of it. The way it works now im simply doing a this.onMouseDown/MouseUp on the first frame of layer 1 to capture the mouse clicks.

Ok, so I'm trying to accomplish a seemingly simple task. I have a gallery set up for a website, where if a thumbnail is clicked, a larger version appears on a display. I can't use external swf files because it doesnt add itself to th get BytesTotal, so the loading bar wouldnt include it loading those external swfs. There is a pause before the picture actually loads (I want it preloaded).
Now I have the movie clips i want to exchange in my library, but dont know hwo to get them to become the on-screen movieclip. I have an on(release) function with _root.screen = 'mc_clip1'; is that not the right syntax? is there a better way to load mc's from the library?

Once I drag and drop the movie clip symbol it will not release the symbol in sum cases I am sending the code. See code below:
f(subject2);
function f(mc:MovieClip):Void{
mc.onPress =function(){
if(!this.index){
this.index=1;

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?

I'm making an isometric game and I need to know which takes less memory for scrolling, making everything invisible that you can't see? Like if(!this.base.hitTest(worldHitter))this._visible = false; Or would it be better to remove the movieclips unseen and then reattach them when i should see them?

in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?

I have a standalone Flash projector running off CD. Currently, I use
getURL("http:url....);
to open the page on default browser. Only problem is the browser window is opening at the size it was last used. I like to see it opens full screen.

I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
on(release) {
_root.myForm.formNameField.txt = ""
_root.myForm.formEmailField.txt = ""[code].....
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.

I have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?

I created a photo album viewer which grabs an XML file from my web site, and then parses the XML to get the paths to all the photos to be displayed by the album viewer. The code makes use of the URLLoader class to fetch the XML. The problem, though, is that in google Chrome it works-- but in IE8, it doesn't work. For example, the XML code and the image fetching code work seemlessly on Chrome. But in IE8 and in IE6, it seems to not be able to fetch such information.
I've read somewhere that you need a crossdomain.xml file at the root directory of your server. But I'm not crossing any domains! It's all coming from my server where the swf is being hosted!

To clarify when I ask about browser to browser communication I mean without a server in between forwarding message. I would like to implement something like this for a game. If p2p in websockets isn't possible are there similar alternatives?

Is anyone else seeing this? After several minutes (less than 10!) of doing nothing but editing a .as file, I see an impending crash in the form of little pink squares around the scroll bars. Most of the time, if I save right then, then exit Flash, I escape without losing any work. If I ignore the warning signs, or sometimes just by Ugly Surprise with no warning, Flash crashes. It doesn't seem like using the app as an IDE for AIR apps, especially when doing little but composing and editing source files, ought to be that taxing.

I am developing a complete AS3 based corporative website. Everything is nice and cool, except that seems to be impossible to release memory... I have read tons of articles referring memory management on AS3, and applied all the techniques on my code: I'm using weakly referenced listeners, removing them when I am done, setting to null all my objects when I want to release them, using the method unloadAndStop whenever I want to unload one of my external SWF files, disposing my loaded bitmaps using bitmapData.dispose()...
And no way, the memory continues increasing to infinite and beyond... One thing that calls my attention: If I minimize my browser and only on that situation, the memory goes down on my task manager to a reasonable amount.

I have built an application that plays videos from the local computer.I am using the FlvPlayback Component. If I play a number of videos in a row(program has about 70), the memory usage on my computer goes to a level where my video is getting slowed down, audio becomes choppy, etc.It seems that when the new video gets loaded, the cached information from the previous video does not get cleared. Could this be and is there a way to clear this out on load of the next video?

Right now I'm using Flash CS3 and, as my animation projects get to be a few thousand frames with four or five characters each with around 15 layers or so, things start getting really slow. I'll be getting CS5 tomorrow and I'm wondering how much RAM CS5 is capable of handling. I'd really like to speed things up. Or, as a side question, are there any tricks people use to keep things running fast once the timeline gets fairly long?

I was playing a flash game when a friend of mine showed me some Cheat Engine trick where you can search for integers in a flash game. eg your score is 100. To find the score, you'll need to search for the value 800 in Cheat Engine—this is probably a popular trick nowadays.I've never played with Cheat Engine before, but I understand that it's a memory editor? I thought it had something to do with bits and bytes; 8 bits = 1 byte, but I'm not sure at all.why you multiply by 8?
