ActionScript 3.0 :: Thumbnail Tween Getting Garbage Collected?

Jul 13, 2010

I recently posted on here about tweening in alphas of thumbnails that I was adding to a movieclip. It seems that the tween is getting garbage collected because not all of the thumbs fade in all the way. I have the tween defined outside of the function, but it is tweening a loader that is created within the function. Could this cause the tween to get garbage collected? if so, how do I fix it?

Here is the pertinent code:

var thumbTween:Tween;
var my_thumb:Loader;
function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void{

ActionScript 3.0 :: Objects Not Being Garbage Collected?

Jul 21, 2009

I have checked and rechecked, and I do not know why these "buckets" aren't being killed when I run the reset menu function, a fresh set of eyes could really help.

Code:
package com.Views {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;

[Code]...

i'm sure there are a lot of problems, but the only one I care about is destroying those buckets. inside the buckets, I have a listener for "removed from stage", and that kills all the listeners, etc, inside the buckets.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How Would These DisplayObjects Be Garbage Collected

Feb 3, 2012

there is a Class A, it has a timer which updates its x position periodically. So all the instance of Class A will update their own x position. There is another Class B which extends Class A and overrides the function which updates position to change y position and call the trace function.

Now what I do now is create two instance alpha1, alpha2 of Class A and other two instance beta1, beta2 of Class B.

- alpha1 is only instantiated, but not added to the stage.

- alpha2 is instantiated, and there after added to the stage.

- beta1 is only instantiated, but not added to the stage.

- beta2 is instantiated, and there after added to the stage.

- let say after few seconds, I remove alpha2 and beta2 from stage.

Now suppose the GC fires collection, who all would be collected ?

Flex :: Function Be Garbage Collected Before Evaluating?

Jan 26, 2011

I have that function in the class:

private function fireItemCreated(data: ByteArray): void {
setTimeout(function(): void {
var event: ItemCreatedEvent = new ItemCreatedEvent(data);
dispatchEvent(event);
}, 1000);
}

This function called to dispatch item created event when image thumbnail created.But it delays event on some time to prevent user interface freezes. And I'm guessing what could be happen if garbage collector executes after fireItemCreated function call but before timer event. Does the closure will be removed or it stays until it will be executed?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweens Keep Freezing At Random, No Garbage Being Collected?

Apr 24, 2010

I have had a few complications with syncing the notes coming down, then I realized tweens would be the best way to go, so I chose them.The problem is; the notes come down the screen. If there is any lag in performance, any note that is on the screen freezes on the spot, and the new notes come down, and stay in sync.This is telling me it's something to do with the tweens. The timeOuts I have set work fine for spawning notes at the right time, but the tweens are freezing on occasion, Im guessing because the timer for the tween keeps going, but flash does not notice it.Here is the code for adding the notes:

Code:
var myTween:Tween;
var timeWindow = 1;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tween And Garbage Collection?

Sep 25, 2008

No matter what I do I cannot solve a tween AS3 Garbage Collection problem I am having that is wreaking havoc on my tween instances working correctly/consistently. Some Sprites never tween at all, some do but only part way. And it effects different ones almost each time.

I have read a fair amount recently on AS3 Garbage Collection and improperly referenced Tweens and other asynchronous instances getting picked up in mid process. I am experiencing the signature inconsistent behaviour that the I have read of.

I have tried using class level Static and non static properties to store references to my Tween instances so they will not be marked for GC. No luck. I have placed references to them in Class level Arrays, I have also used TweenMax's static to() Method that insures that it will shield it from GC and its alt. non Static
constructor instantiation, with persist:true. I also implemented another custom package; GCSafeTween(), other users said it does as it should, but it's not working in my case.

To test the GC problem, I edited the two eventListerners() in the Adobes' fl.transitions.Tween so that their default weakReference property was false. Doing this made the Tween work correctly. But that's a terrible solution.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash8 Tween Thumbnail Scrolling - Button Control

I've been trying to do is to move a string of thumbnails - thumbHolder_mc - incrementally (like every 386 pixels) left and right, controling it with arrow buttons. Code below works like a charm EXCEPT when I try to stop the tween motion on either end.

I tried everything - _visible = false, enabled = false, delete function, etc etc, nothing works. In the my script below, buttons get disabled, but never recover. Function never comes "back to life", which is what I thought it was supposed to do:

1. When you roll over the thumbs, they go up, sometimes they flick back down though, even though you are rolled over them still. is this just because they are moving?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Build An Uploader That Will Take Data Collected?

Jan 15, 2009

This is the situation: I am trying to build an uploader that will take data collected earlier in the form before the upload occurs and then rename the uploaded file with it. I've gotten the upload itself to work, but thus far I have no luck getting any sort of renaming to work, not even by PHP. I tried Loadvars to transfer the variables over and rename it during upload, yet it says "NO" and rejects the post variables when the upload occurs. I even tried loading the variables into an external file and transfering them back to the uploader via cookie, all at the same time. Again it says "NO!", and the file is uploaded as __"filename".jpg. This is my code thus far:

Actionscript 3 :: Flex Spark Textinput Prevents Component To Be Collected By GC

Mar 28, 2012

I've got a custom component (quite complex so I can't post any code here, although that shouldn't matter), that I can add to a view. When the component is deleted from the view or the view is switched I call my own dispose method which removes remaining eventListeners and kills some references so that the component can eventually be nulled and collected by the GC.

All that works perfectly fine until I add a Spark TextInput to the MXML part of the component (it took me hours to find out what is preventing the component to be collected!), so I recon that the TextInput somehow automatically adds some eventListeners.

My question is what are these listeners, or is there anything else I haven't thought of?

ActionScript 2.0 :: To Thumbnail, Or Not To Thumbnail ?

Jul 5, 2007

Yes, I'm making a photo gallery like everyone else. I'm making it so people can order pics from the site. There are going to be about 500 photos per album in 5 different categories. The photos can be shrunk down to about 60kb a piece. If I use the actual pictures as thumbnails, just scaled down, the total size of all the pics will be about 30mb. I know this is a lot.

Either way, the people looking at the album will most likely look at nearly all the pics so they will be using up bandwidth either way. Plus, if I use the actual pics as thumbs the user will not have to wait to see actual pic when it's clicked on because it's already loaded. A preloader is annoying to me. I do realize a preloader would be wise when loading the thumbs. Just dislike them after you click one for the big picture.

So is using shrunken thumbs a necessity or if the big pic is under a certain size it shouldn't matter if I use it for a thumb also?

IDE :: Garbage Collection In CS4?

Jun 25, 2009

It is known that a display Object removed from the display list will be garbage collected only if any event listener associated with it is removed.What I would like to know, but could not anywhere find an answer to, is that for a class that we create which extends, say Sprite, and uses and manipulates various other display elements within it, while removing an instance of this class from the display list is it sufficient to remove the event listeners associated with the instance of the class, or do we necessarily have to remove all internal event listeners of the class definition associated with the display objects that the class uses and manages.

AS3 :: How Does Garbage Collection Work

Nov 6, 2011

I understand that Objects not referenced by anything are garbage collected, and have been making sure to null out referenced to objects when I'm done with them. What I want to know are a few things:Do only Objects need to be null-referenced?How often does garbage collection usually run? Does it tend to run when processor demand is low? Is there a way I can tell garbage collection to run manually, such as when I'm done with a playing field full of sprites? This is not really needed if garbage collection tends to run when processor use is low, since it will run anyway at the times I'd like it to.Objects created just for the scope of an if or for statement etc, unless they are assigned a reference elseware, are eligible for garbage collection, right?
