Flex Application Memory Usage?
Mar 4, 2011System.totalMemory gives the total memory used by the flash player and not one particular application. Is there any way I can get the flex application's memory usage in code/actionscript?

Aug 17, 2010I have a flash application which consist of Grid Components, Button, Label, and Combo-box Components. All these components are used more than 70 times(simultaneously) with in the application. So Its takes too much of memory. So How can I test the memory usage of each component at the time of running. Is there any plug-in available for browsers to find the memory usage. I'm using flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0. The application suppose to run in browsers.

Apr 12, 2010I've got a flex component which works pretty well but unfortunately turns into a disaster once used in a datagroup item renderer of about 40-50 items. Essentially it uses bitmapdata to take screenshot of a fully-rendered webpage in mx:HTML (this version of webkit rocks btw, miles better than flex 3). The code is pretty self-explanatory I think. [URL]. I've optimized it all I could, browsed, search for answers and already trimmed it down a lot, I'm desparate to reduce the memory usage (about 600mb after 100 draw). The Garbage collector has little effect.

Jun 4, 2011I have a question about the Spark DataGrid and how it works in terms of garbage collection. What I'm finding is that if I dynamically add and remove columns from the DataGrid at runtime, the GridColumns and ItemRenderers never get freed from memory.
For instance, if I have a list with 10 items and I create 10 columns, there will be 100 ItemRenderers and 10 GridColumns. If I remove all of the columns, they are still there.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS3 Memory Usage
Jul 6, 2009How much memory in bytes can Flash normally handle? I have a fairly involved program that is running at 39MB usage and now may be causing some memory issues (I'm not sure it's the memory, since it was running smoothly up until I made a few code changes and now Flash freezes after making those changes). But anyway, I have been wondering about memory usage and Flash CS3 and felt like this was a good topic to dicuss. Is there a way to force an increase in available memory for Flash?

Aug 20, 2009I am doing a flash getting data from mysql. My Database is quite big (200+MB) with lots of datas. here is my problems, after using my flash for some searching, maybe because of calling mysql to get too much data (like getting 900 records with their names and images), my memory usage increase to over 2 GB. Thus my flash is dead. I need to restart it. Is there any ways to reduce the memory usage?? Or it might be some other problems. I am quite new at my job, so it might be something that I forget to close ot remove.

May 4, 2009Did a website, but at the end of it... i needed to translate everything So I simply made a duplicate translated all the text, and added a button on each that will jump between the languages. Button added to main stage. Inside button on DOWN action:
if (MovieClip(parent).mainContainer.numChildren!=0)
MovieClip(parent).mainContainer.removeChildAt(0);
var ii:int=parent.numChildren-1;
trace(ii);

I have tried to remove all children from the stage, but then upon loading, I get an error; looks like I removed the stage,timeline etc. So I had to leave the parent.numChildren at -1 to leave the mainContainer (but clean it inside). It works, but now Firefox memory increases each time I click on the Language Change button:

208 K

EDIT: The line stage.addChild() creates error:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using .load() And .unload() In Regards To Memory Usage

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Memory Usage In Browser?
Oct 16, 2010When 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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Memory Usage With Embed Statement
May 18, 2010how memory is assigned for an embedded graphic? I'm using an embed statement to include a 240kb splash screen into my code and it seems to massively increase the memory usage out of all proportion to its size.
ActionScript Code:
[Embed(source = '../splash.png')]public var splashScr:Class;

With a 1kb splash screen an ongoing trace of system memory bottoms out at ~3500kb, whereas with the 240kb screen it never drops below ~6500kb.

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: ViewStates - Accumulative CPU Cycle And Memory Usage
Apr 5, 2011I have a flash file system created using Adobe Flash builder CS5 containing nested movie clips. I use Action Script 3 class (using Flash Builder) to go to different frames using gotoAndPlay() statements (these frames constitute different view states of the system). In my system I have around 10 view states starting from Welcome, Action1, Action2, ..., to EndOfAction(Bye).
In order to display these viewstates I use gotoAndPlay(). These viewstate are repeated sveral times in almost the same order. Each view state has multiple nested movie clips containing animations. Everything works fine during initial cycles. But after every cycle of viewstates, I find that the CPU usage and Memory usage are increasing. After around 10 cycles the use of CPU is such that the animations become very slow.
In the Action Script 3 the code will look like as following.
switch (viewstate) {
case "welcome":
target.gotoAndPlay(welcomeLabel);
break;
case "action1":
target.gotoAndPlay(action1Label);
break;
}
Anybody could enlighten me what is happening here, and tell me how I can get rid of excessive, accumulative cpu and memory usage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Memory Usage When Loading External Movies?
Dec 13, 2010I 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?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Touchscreen Project - Memory Usage Optimization
Jan 12, 2011I am working on a touch screen project right now. There is a chance that the touchscreen will never be turned off, so I have to be very aware of the memory issue with the pc. I don't want the memory to keep building up and eventually it just freezes up the pc. Basically, I have separated each section into a separate swf. The idea is to load only the swf that is needed in order to optimize memory usage. I tested the app on a pc, when looking at the "processes" in the window task manager, it seems the memory used will just keep increasing as I navigate through the application, it seems to me it just keeps piling up external swfs in the application, but sometimes the memory will just suddenly decrease. And when the touchscreen application is idle, the memory will drop too.
The following code is what I used to load and unload the external swf. Did I do it right? Is there anything that may have left unnoticed that is still staying in the memory? Is there any other way to optimize the memory usage too?
ActionScript Code:
var prevLevel:* = this.parent;
var currentPage:MovieClip;
var oldPage:MovieClip;
var bgID:String;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Streaming Video Memory Usage?
Aug 10, 2010My problem is going to be hard to outlay in detail due to NDA's I am bound to, but the gist is this..I have a swf application the progressively streams content from a cdn edge server.I have built a video player class and instantiate a new one for each new piece of footage I find.Naturally this requires good memory management to ensure no leaks..... and herein lies the problem (surprise).
I have unregistered all my event listeners (not using weak at present) and nulled all objects from my media player object.I slice it from my list and call a destroy method that cleans up all objects setting references to null. Once this is done I call System.gc().My profiling tools are showing that my memory usage is continuing to increase linearly for each new video clip. The jump is about 5mb each time the approx size of each video file.
Is the built in "Video" component on the stage (players all share the same one) a built in type?
ActionScript 3.0 :: [flash Cs4] Memory Usage Utility Classes?
Oct 4, 2010I 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.

Mar 16, 2012I have a Flex 4.6 web game which displays 2 Lists with virtual layouts with 2 custom item renderers. The renderers consist mainly of BitmapImages displaying user avatars + few Labels.
The Lists are being updated often over TCP socket with gzipped JSON data. I merge that data into 2 ArrayCollections serving as dataProviders for the Lists. This seems to work well, the Lists do not flicker and are updated correctly (I've monitored debug traces a lot to get it right).

Flex :: Track Down Memory Leaks In The Application?
Feb 14, 2011I've been trying to track down memory leaks in our application, and keep finding myself back looking at Spark components as the culprit.
Many classes in Spark use RichEditableText for displaying their text properties (ComboBox,TextInput).RichEditableText has a local textContainerManager property, and frequently calls compose() on this.Here's the relevant abridged extract from TextContainerManager
// Line 282 - 292:
static private var stringFactoryDictionary:Dictionary = new Dictionary(true);
static private function inputManagerStringFactory(config:IConfiguration):StringTextLineFactory
{
[code]...
Line 1242 is the crucial line here, as it gives the static dictionary a reference to our component.(Note - I've checked this with the debugger to confirm which branch of the ternary gets executed.) This would prevent the instance from ever being garbage collected.
Eg: Static dictionary has a value with a reference to the instance -- instance cannot be GC'd.In turn, this would prevent any other instances which have a reference to the instance of TextContainerManager from being GC'd also.While this theory certainly matches what I'm seeing in our app, I can't beleive that there really is a memory leak in such a low-level spark component.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Application That Is Showing A Memory Leak
Jul 10, 2009Iam trying to debug someone elses AS3 application that is showing a memory leak. The application is built with PureMVC.I have managed to locate the place where the memory leak seems to start. There is a button that causes the application to launch a slideshow. This draws a new graph every 8 seconds or so by creating a Timer. In the Timer handle function the code uses sendNotifaction() to set off series of events which basically boil down to getting information from a server and drawing a new graph.Now if I comment out the sendNotification() the memory leak stops, but if I leave the senNotification() in but comment out the code that subsribes to it the memory usage starts to build up.So my question is can simply firing off a sendNotification() every 8 secs in PureMVC cause a memory leak, even if not other code runs from this?
View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Profile CPU / Memory Inside An Adobe AIR Application?
Mar 29, 2010Couldn`t find any ActionScript native APIs even in the beta documentation, am I right supposing that this means the only way to measure CPU / memory consumption is by cooking up a custom native solution, hooking it up with AIR and making it work on each targeted platform?
Basically the aim is to be able to have this information available inside AIR and not having to use an external application for profiling, not even Flex / Flash builder.Seems for the CPU load the only solution will be some command line scraping using NativeProcess.
