Flash :: Unloaded AVM1 Swfs Trace Out As Unloaded But Memory Is Not Freed For The AVM2 Machine
Mar 29, 2010
I have a large project built in as3. Part of its main functionality is to load and unload various as2 swfs. The problem is that the memory ins't free up once they are unloaded.
I have access to the as2 swfs code base and destroyed all objects, stopped and killed timers, listeners, removed from stage, destroyed all the MovieClip.protoypes that were created. They look to be clean as far as the AS2 debugger show no remnants of the object after the destroy function is run. In AS3 i've closed the local connection, cleaned all references/listeners to the AVM1Movie and ran Loader.unloadAndStop(). The trace out in flex says the swf was unloaded but looking at windows task manager the memory usage never drops to when it was before the as2 swf was loaded. Each as2 swf can take up to 80 megs each time it's run so memory gets eaten up fast and loading and unloading a few as2 files.
At this point if the AS2 swfs are unloaded the only thing that I can assume that could be left is MovieClip.prototype and/or _global, _root variables add during the AS2's run time. But i've gone through those and can't find anything else that might be sticking. Has anyone ever seen problems before with the AVM1 machine not freeing up its memory?

ActionScript 3.0 provides for a way to determine if a swf is for either: 1) AVM2 (or earlier); or 2) AVM3. [link1, link2]My Question:From C#, is there a way to determine if a swf is for AVM1 or AVM2?

Let's say we have a directory with 10,000 SWF files.There is a great need to determine what SWF files are AVM1 (AS2 or earlier), and what SWF files are AVM2 (AS3).Can anyone point me in the right direction to determine the AVM version for a large amount of files?It seems like I could write a script that loops through every file, checks some magic hex value in the file's binary data, and records the result somewhere.

Flash builder traces out when swfs are loaded and unloaded eg:
[SWF] C:xampphtdocscar_explorerfontsArial.swf - 174,937 bytes after decompression
and
[Unload SWF] C:xampphtdocscar_explorerassetsspinEXTERIORBASE_12.swf
How to disable these types of traces?

I have a flash application, some kind of a play-list that loads external SWF video player (I don't have code access to that external file), so users can watch the video or skip to another one. When user switches to another video new SWF file is being loaded.
The problem: If user didn't finish watching the video and skips to the next then I unload previous SWF file (unloadAndStop()) and load a new one. And because the previous SWF was playing it is not actually unloaded, it is still playing on the background (I hear two audio tracks: current and previous).

I have a flash app, that redirects to another page. I'd love to trap any other window unload event (clicking links / submitting forms) and warn the user they'll lose their progress in the Flash app. However, I can't find any way to tell that the click/change of URL/window unload was triggered by Flash vs being triggered by a normal link etc. Is there any way to detect this, and how reliable is it?

I'm having a problem with audio of Captivate demos created in Captivate 4 loaded into a Loader component using Flash 8 and AS2. Problem is if someone is viewing a Captivate demo and hits the Audio On/Off button on the playbar to turn the audio off and then returns to the menu, the next Captivate demo loaded has no audio until the user click the audio Off/On button a couple of times. Even though when loaded, the playbar audio is shown as on.
I've already tried cpCmndMute and cpCmndVolume to no avail. Is there another audioOn variable I'm missing?[url]...

that is my very strange problem.I have the following setup:A loader swf (responsible for the loading bar) loads a controller swf. The progress bar gets filled up to 50% (100% of that swf are 50% of the whole process).When the controller swf is loaded, it is added to the stage.Then, the controller swf starts loading other swfs (for buttons, and other program related stuff).The progress of this loading is given the loader swf and make up the other 50%.When the progress reaches 100%, the loader swf hides and the controller swf is displayed.

I'm trying to load a successive series of swf, each containing audio, into a loader. As each ends, it's unloaded and the next one loads. I'm using the following code:

var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var c:int = 0;

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);[/CODE]...........
Each swf loads just fine, but the audio from the previously loaded swf start playing again, so there's a layered audio mishmash.

I'm having a problem, apparently not very hard to solve, but... I'm creating a file with some animations and a few stops on the timeline; on each stop I want to load a swf... The idea is to make the main timeline "wait" for the swf to stop when it arrives to the las frame and then, make it to unload and continue playing until the next stop...This is an application to work local (not on the web).So, I want the swf to unload without any click; just by itself.

Main swf loads an external swf which has a linear voice-over. User can watch/listen the whole 5 minute piece and then main movie carries on OR User can click to go on without viewing/listening to the whole show. Using removeChild, I can kill the visuals, but the voice track still goes on. i added a SoundMixer.stopAll line, and it does kill the current VO clip, but the next one will play in a few seconds. In the external swf, i'm using timers to delay slide advancement while the voice over plays. Seems like I came across some info that says I cannot fully unload like this with timers in my external swf.
Does this sound like a plausible source of the problem? If so, what is the best way to kill/nullify the timers in the external swf?

What I would like to do is, once all the fish have been clicked on, and the points all added up, and the stage is empty, is for the movie to go the next frame, where it will display the winner etc. So, how would I tell my movie to go to nextFrame(); once all the movieclip instances have been unloaded.

I'm creating an eLearning interface to load other multimedia rich SWF contents. As from the title, I do unloadAndStop() the multimedia rich SWF and the SWF disappeared from the stage. However, video content from the unloaded SWF were still playing.
According to Adobe:
Code:
As a result, the following occurs for the child SWF file and the child SWF file's display list:
Sounds are stopped.
Stage event listeners are removed.
Event listeners for enterFrame, frameConstructed, exitFrame, activate and deactivate are removed.
Timers are stopped.
Camera and Microphone instances are detached
MovieClips are stopped.
The 2nd problem I face will be, after unLoadAndStop() my parent font type also change to "Times New Romans" although I have embedded the the font type to the flash. I have to reload the parent to get back the design font type.

We are using a Origin/Edge configuration for massive video delivery, and we are experiencing problems with huge audiences. Basically, when the edge server reaches thousands of users watching (6000) a live video in a single application, this instance is unloaded by the server with the following error:
==> edge.00.log <==2010-06-1115:51:1018614(i)2701054Virtual host Disconnecting unresponsive core live/stream (28860) after 30 seconds is not available.-==> core.00.log <==2010-06-1115:51:1028860(i)2581233Core (28860) disconnecting from admin: 200.-==> master.00.log <==2010-06-1115:51:1018593(w)2581257Core (28860) _defaultRoot_:_defaultVHost_:::_0 is not responding and is being restarted!-2010-06-[code]......
In this situation, the CPU usage is something around 30%, the memory is almost unused, and the load average is very low. We are using FMIS 3.5.3 854a running in the CentOS.

i want this clip unloaded (destroyed) when ANY other link is clicked. This clip is an empty container clip that will be generating child clips that will each be loading thumbnails for images. Obviously i need to destroy the parent clip to remove all children without looping, etc.
This movie clip ("TL") is created in a keyframe that is the stopping point of an animation. When a user clicks the Portfolio link from the menu, the menu hides itself, and then goes to a frame label where actionscript awaits. Once there, the AS tells the submenu movie to animate (play). The submenu then plays and stops when it hits a certain frame (the one with the 'stop();' code, lol), and that frame then contains actionscript that generates the Gallery Thumbnails' parent container ("TL"), via:
var TL:MovieClip = createMovieClip("TL",60);
and GT then creates movie clips for thumbnails to be contained in via:
TL.createEmptyMovieClip('Thumb' + i,TL.getDepth() -1);
All this works so far. Now, to get rid of the clip when any other button is clicked, i tell the gallery movie to play again, which alphas it out of sight. So, on the NEXT frame of the timeline AFTER the frame which the TL and children are created is where i need to place the actionscript to unload/remove them. The problem is that there is no method for this! It seems that all the methods for removing / unloading clips only apply to clips that were duplicated or instatiated from loading external files or attaching instances from the library...I need to remove this "TL" clip, and can't figure out how.
Code:
_root.mcMenuGalleryAnimation.attachMovie("thumbsList","TL",60);
TL._x = -300;
TL._y = 0;[code]....

I have a flash file that has three main buttons on top. When a button is clicked the timeline moves to a that frame (designated with a label) that loads in a particular external SWF corresponding with the button. Those movies are loaded into the same empty movieclip called "presentation"using:loadMovie("splash.swf","presentation"); In one of the external loaded SWF's there is a tween animation (on first frame using TweenLite), that takes place upon loading the SWF. The issue is that when I click a button and go to another frame (which loads another SWF) mid-way through that animation, and come back to that same page with the animation. The animations starts mid-way as if it was running in the back, such as fading in things that shouldn't be faded in yet, etc..? Any clue as to why? EDIT: Maybe this is the cause? The animation code in the first frame of the loaded SWF:
//Animate the bouquet
var bFadeIn:Tween = new Tween(bouquet,"_alpha",Back.easeInOut,0,100,1,true); //106.95
bFadeIn.onMotionFinished = function() {

I have a video player that doesnt have "seek from unloaded time" functionality. I want to add it now, but i am having headaches. I sipmly load video like this; stream.play("vidurl.flv"); (pseudo streaming)
Server side is ready. I can call videos like videourl.flv?start=xxx but cant play them in player cuz video comes without metadata
To sum up;
1. stream.play("vidurl.flv"); works, video plays
2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. i get the position and convert it to seconds
stream.play("vidurl.flv?start=10"); doesnt work! no metadata what i should do after?

Is it 'elegant' solution for a website which displays loads of images, to save users waiting time and preload images one by one, always to the same object (so the machines memory won't fill up) and then on request load the image once again (so the browser will use a cache)?
