ActionScript 3 :: How To Clear / Free Up Memory In Flash

May 4, 2011

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Unload External SWF To Free Up Flash Player Memory

Apr 29, 2009

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]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Free Memory During Slideshow?

Mar 15, 2012

I've got this simple script (I left all original comments) that create a slideshow with timer (this is only part of the whole script), it manages the slides loading in the containers on the stage.The problem is that after each loaded slide the ram of the pc increase by 10 Mb! I tried to solve the problem using:

Code:
slideLoader.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fadeSlideIn);
slideLoader=null;

in the fadeSlideIn function or the same applied to the currentContainer, but without success.

Code:
// reference to the current slider container
var currentContainer:Sprite;
// slides holder[code].......

ActionScript 3.0 :: Free RAM Memory During Slideshow?

Mar 21, 2012

the slideshow loads high resolution images (300-500 Kb) from folder with xml. Every time each slide is loaded and shown, the PC ram increase by 10 Mb!I used the commented lines and it works, the memory does not increase, but there are 2 other problem:

- the fade transition between the 2 images: the image in background is lost so that the transition is between white background and the image loaded at the top level (awful effect)

- in the image folder there is a swf too, before the commented code is was correctly loaded and shown.

Code:
function init():void {
slideTimer = new Timer(TIMER_DELAY);
slideTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, switchSlide);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Free Memory From Arrays?

May 31, 2010

I am making a game. Whenever a level is created, a few large arrays are filled up with numbers. The memory usage is around 3mb. When I want to load a new level, I want to remove these arrays from memory and repopulate them with the data from a new level. But, no matter what I do, the game keeps on using up an extra ~3mb of memory each time I reload a level.

The arrays are not being removed from memory. I have tried setting every element of every array to null, I have tried setting the arrays themselves to null, I have tried using myarray.splice(0) to remove the elements from the array, but the memory is still not being freed.

Why would this be happening? The memory usage is not from movieclips, it is just arrays with numbers in them. And it seems to me like it is impossible to delete them.

Why would this be happening? How do I force flash to remove the arrays from memory

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Memory Free Up With Remove Clip?

Dec 9, 2008

I 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)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Image Refresh Doesn't Free Memory?

May 14, 2008

[URL]

The movie loads in an external image and refreshes it every second. What happens, though, is the previous image seems to stay in memory. Eventually the browser will hang, because the memory footprint of the flash movie is so large. Even while testing outside the browser, I can see the memory increase by a couple hundred KB every second. You can see it at [URL]

The code I'm using is below (don't make fun, I don't claim to be a programmer).

Code:
function refresh_url(event:TimerEvent){
var url:String = "http://www.live-photo.com/asheville-east.jpg?ID="+getTimer();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Clear Memory / Swf's Interact?

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Dynamically Clear Memory

Apr 28, 2009

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]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Graphics Clear() Doesn't Clear Bitmap Data From BeginBitmapFill()?

Jul 30, 2011

I'm working on a game whose background has many layers that each scroll at different speeds.

Inside each layer I have a Sprite, I've started using graphics.beginBitmapFill, but what I've found is that the graphics.clear() function doesn't actually clear the contents set by the previous call to graphics.begin.BitmapFill. Each frame, I adjust the matrix to shift the layer as needed.  Then, I call graphics.clear() and graphics.beginBitmapFill() with the adjusted matrix. Since my layers have alphas in the bitmap, I can see the contents that was drawn the previous frame.

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.
