I'm using Adobe Flash CS 4 and would like to know are there any profiler or memory analysis tools available for it ? (actionscript 3). I know there are available tools for Flex, but are there for Flash CS 4 instead?

View 1 RepliesI'm working with a large modular app, and most of the swfs were made in Flash Professional. When I load the app in the Flash Builder Profiler, the memory usage appropriately goes up and down as I add and remove modules. When I flip between two modules many times, I end up with the current memory in the Profiler more or less where I started at around 2 megs. System.totalMemory, however, shows that the flash player has only been allocating memory and is currently using 106 megs. Is there a certain bug known to do this, or is there a better way to detect memory leaks? I'm using the latest flash player debug version.
Note: The SWF modules are all permitting debugging, and the Profiler picks up objects in them.
I have an AIR/Flex app I made, I have a few people testing it and everyone is reporting that after leaving it running for a while, it is making all there machines run very slow. It runs fine at first so this must be a memory leak somewhere. I used the profiler on this and the only thing that shows as using a substantial amount of memory is MethodQueueElement which is not a class I wrote, and I have no idea what it does, I am assuming its part of the Flex framework. I am not familiar with using a profiler so I am not sure what all I shuld be looking at, that was the only class that was high on "memory" and it said it had over 100,000 instances. If this is my problem what can I do to fix it?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently hunting a memory leak related to XML objects. FDT's profiler shows results that match my expectations while Adobe's profiler doesn't show any XML objects at all.
Are there any differences between Adobe's profiler that comes with Flash Builder and FDT's profiler or is that a configuration issue?
Does Flash Builder have any tool for detailed memory monitoring? When my program is run for a long time it gets slower, and I would like to identify the problem. When I press ctrl-alt-del to check my program memory it is increasing, but I am not able find which part of program is responsible for this increase.

View 1 RepliesAnyone else has experienced weird behaviors and unexpected values when checking for stage.stageHeight while you have Bandwith Profiler open in Flash IDE?
I have been using this for testing Perlin Noise stuff:
[Code]...
As you see here, the swf is set to a height of 400 When executed with test movie, control-enter, the trace returns 400 .. now, if you try this with the Bandwidth Profiler open, it would return 300, and the Sprite would only extend to 300 height.
I'm trying to use the Profiler for the first time so I don't know much about it. But it doesn't seem to work.I run my project under profiler, it says it is running, but no window shows up. Nothing. I can see the project's icon down there but I see no window at all.Can this be cause by the fact that I'm using Flex 4.5? You can the app in the dock and it shows its live objects, but I don't see the apps' window and cannot interact with it. The app is just a simple 400x400 window with some black shapes in it.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a Flash CS5/AS3 pre loader, and the bandwidth profiler is telling me that my frame 1 size is massive - about 850kb. Frame 2 is 128kb. This results in a white screen during the bulk of loading, followed by the brief and now-unecessary preloader, and then the rest of the swf.
I have a setup of two frames, the first being the preloader with the following code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
function preLoad(event:Event):void{
var bytestoLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
[Code].....
The .as file associated with the fla has tons of other information, a full game.
I've already gone through my library and on all the symbols with Linkage, unchecked the "Export in Frame 1". Also the pre-loader is small, only a text box and a shape.
How can I get more detail of it's loading in frame 1 so that I can move it to frame 2?
Well after 3 years I'm finally ready to move onto a new project....my plan is to make an auction site but with a flash twist....well not really a twist been done a thousand times the plan is to rotate each sale object 360 degrees..... anybody have any tips on how i should accomplish this in flash? my intial anaylisis in my head tells me to take multiple pictures then user frames in flash to rotate them.

My Flex application has some memory problems which I'd like to find using the profiler. However, when I run the profiler from Flex Builder, nothing happens. The appication is run the regular way, but nothing is profiled. The Profiling perspective doesn't event open, and when I open the Profiling perspective, no memory usage is displayed.
Can anyone help me out here?
I just noticed a workaround something that's been annoying me for a long time. Occasionally my projects vertically line up funny if clip y-coords or heights are based on frame 1 stageHeight. I always thought it was a load-time duration or something like that, but it turns out to be bandwidth profiler (CS4 authoring). Try this on frame 1 of a new, empty project:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, this.entf); function entf(evt:Event):void{ trace(this.stage.stageHeight); }
When bandwidth profiler is on, the first frame reports -100 the real stageHeight. Now to avoid the problem I just turn off bandwidth profiler. Is it just a bug?
Making a simple demonstration with three buttons which gotoAndStop on 3 different frames using AS3. Have done this lots of time with CS4 without issue. When I publish/preview my work and load the .swf it is blank for a split second and then loads frame 1 of my timeline (but says it is on frame 2 of my movie - in the bandwith profiler). When I try to look at the bandwith profiler it shows my page 1 as page 2, and when I click around the buttons my flash file does load the different frames correctly, but doesn't display them on the bandwith profiler - everything just stays on frame 2. Every time I try to drag the slider back to frame 1 it plays to frame 2. Everything should be on frame 1.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, or what I need to do for instantanous loading of content (this is very very light content, should be immediate) and how I get my bandwith profiler to show the navigation to different frames as I click around? Tried to look and find scenes - can't find that dialog either, did they ditch it? Am I running into this new built in preloader? How can I disable it?
I was trying to find a bandwidth profiler in flex like there used to be one in Flash but couldn't really find one. Is there a way, that I can do bandwidth profiling of my local swf?I'm using Flex Bulider with a AS3 project.

View 1 RepliesI have made a preloader that is in the same swf as my main Movie.I went and set all my linked movieclips to *not* export in the first frame.However, I seem to still have quite a bit loading in my first frame (64kB) and I can't quite figure out what it is? The only movieclips I have set to export in my first frame is my preloader movieclips ("container" and "preload bar") both of which are simple shapes I made in flash.
View 1 RepliesI 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?
