I've seen a lot about removing movie clips and I finally want to settle this. What is the proper way to remove a Movie Clip from memory? Right now what I'm doing is: Code: removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, step); this.parent.removeChild(this); This is for an instance with 2 private variables and 2 methods (one of which is step). I saw some things about using something = null; and delete something; as well.
View 1 RepliesI have a very simple movie clip in my library with a linkage id of view. with a bmp in it 2000x760.I have a text field to which i'm outputting System.totalMemory via EnterFrame event.and two buttons one to attach the view and the other to remove it. Everything works fine and I am doing everything i know how to clean up after myself as far as the linked view goes when removing it which isn't much just removeChild and setting the ref to it to null.Now the issue is that when i run the swf either in ide or stand alone i get a memory jump when the clip is attached which is fine and great but when i remove the clip memory never gets freed >< I know this has to do with a greater CS issue with gc and all that, but How can i get memory free up with i remove the clip?Lastly I am runing System.gc() when i remove the clip (this can't be the answer? / its not doing anything)

I need to create a hundred instances of a movie clip.Is it better to add functions for these movie clips in the movie clip class or in a separate class?For example I have move(), setPosition(), setRotation() functions, would this create these functions a hundred of time and take memory place or just reference the functions?

View 3 RepliesI have a main movie, and I have an external movie. I have a button in my main movie and an empty movie clip. When you hit the button, it loads the external movie in the empty mc. That external movie is 90 seconds long, but I want it to unload and go back to the main movie when its finished. I think I need to put something in the actual movie clip so that when it gets to end, it removes the movie clip and that disappears.
Whats the best way to achieve this? Should I make it invisible? Or unload movieclip? or is there a remove movieclip?
