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'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?
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 2 RepliesI 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 6 RepliesI'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 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 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'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 3 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 found this link which explains how to profile a Tamarin application with vtune. Since tamarin and Adobe Flash share the same code base, can I use it to profile Flash apps too ?
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 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?

I have created a Flex custom preloader, exactly like it is done in this example: [URL]
Now when I implement this, is seems to work fine on my computer in FireFox and Chrome. I publish it on the server, refresh my cache and reload the application and I do get my customized preloader.
But on a friend's computer, the screen stays white for a while, and then for a second or so it shows the preloader, but the indicator is at 100%.
So the loading already happened before it showed the preloader.
i have in my program few swf files and using mxmlc i compile the application into one swf file. when i open the swf from the output directory(just dbl click) everything works fine. But, when i copy the directory to another location in the hardisk the application stops responding (i can see my swf main picture and its buttons in it. But, when i click a button which just popup a message, it doesn't work!) Note: any location in my workspace, the swf still works fine. But when moving out the workspace it fails

In this code I'm creating a new window when I click the button. In the new window are TextInput and DropDownList components. When the new window opens, clicking the DropDownList does nothing - you have to click it a second time round to get it to open. However, click into the TextInput field first and then try opening the DropDownList works no problem.
Below is the code, or download the FXP file here.

Why Flash Firebug doesn't work with flex 4.5?
UPDATE:
I have Flex 4.5 and in the main application, in the script tag I write:
import ominds.Firebug;
I use flash player WIN 10,1,85,3 Debug enabled. I export swf as 10.1.85 version.
And when I open the flashFirebug I get this: "No SWF files with the O-Minds package found, you should import the O-Minds package into your flash files. For more information visit: o-minds.com/products/flashfirebug"

Do you have idea about the reason for that error and how to prevent it? N.B. The code that triggers this error is as a result for click handler. If before encountering this error change the selection on my yearsCb, everithing is fine. EDIT: I forget to specify that this error is thrown when it is a selected item in my ComboBox. It seem that after container that holds the ComboBox loses the focus, it doesn't recognize it's ComboBox child as having a selected item anyway (this problem arise only after the modal popup close.).
