Sep 21, 2010Is there any utility that indicates in a comprehensible way what is referencing and object and why it can't be garbage collected.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Utility To Indicate What Is Referencing Object
Sep 24, 2010I have a fairy sizable class, a`nd an mx:Application that will periodically instantiate a new object of this class, which results in member functions of the class being assigned as event listeners to the application, and also other member display objects of the class being added as children to the application. When the application creates a new object of this class the old object is destroyed: to accomplish this, removeEventListener and removeChild are called on various members of the old object (to decouple them from the parent application) and then the final reference to the old object is set to null, and then finally the well known localConnection hack is called to force FP to actually free the memory.
And the thing is, the above destruction procedure always works to deallocate an object - except for the very first object allocated. it has proved impossible thus far to release the memory of the first such object created, or find out what is preventing it (i.e. find out what is still referencing it). So my question is - is there any useful utility that will tell you what is still referencing an object and keeping it from being garbage collected. Someone implied to me that the flex profiler would do this (which I do not have access to) but another 3rd party profiler I found for flex would not do this (i.e. tell you what is referencing an object and keeping it from being deleted.)

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Object Not Deleted From Memory?
Oct 11, 2009what I have is:
- listener added with weak refference, therefore it shouldn't keep the GC away
- object set to null
- trace of the object m shows null
- debugger shows the value of m as null
But the "frame" trace still keeps on appearing, so where exactly is that object and how to check for it, how to delete it and kill it. I know that listeners keep objects in the memory, but then how to find them, and at the end of the day also used weakReference=true while assigning it, so that should take care of it. What exactly is going on here?

Flex :: Ensure An Item Gets Deleted Inside Repeater?
Aug 4, 2010I have a code like this:
<mx:Repeater id="allItemRepeator"
dataProvider="{_model.allItems}"
>
<components:ComponentSelector id="componentSelector"
[Code]....
When code changes for allItems the item disapears from screen as expected but still sits in memory! I know this by a function inside a compoenent that has "trace" so the trace output still displays even after the component disappears from screen. How do I ensure that the element is deleted when it's reference is deleted? Will using List-based component to display items instead of "Repeator" solve the problem (it requires significant refactoring of my code so I'm asking before trying it out)

Nov 3, 2010I have a web application created using Flash Pro and I want to use external ActionScript files to support it. I have a package with multiple classes. I want to be able to create utility functions to do things across classes. How do I make these functions accessible to any of the classes? I know I can create a class with these functions and then instantiate the class with a dummy variable to be able to access the methods but is there a better way?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Simple Utility That Will Disable Maximize Of Projector?
Mar 22, 2009I am aware of Zinc (which was disappointing) and SWF Studio (demo didnt work for some reason, I contacted them with nor eply just yet) but there were problems with these and they simply offer more than I need. Is there a simple utility that will allow me to eliminate the users ability to maximize the player window? Something that wont force me to bundle my 50 FLV videos into the EXE making an EXE thats like 300 MB...something that will not change anything about how the projector works but allow some projector top bar modifications?
I tend to remember long ago there was a very simple 1-2 screen utility that allowed you to simply check a few boxes, export and it acted in every way like a regular projector (exe) but simply disable a few options (like maximize).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Online Demo Works Without Utility Classes?
Mar 11, 2012I have just uploaded a new swf and its packages to my server, and it works has expected. However, inside my Document Class I have two imports:
import com.utils.calendarFunctions;import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
Neither of these are on my Server - believe me I've checked, repeatedly. So how is it possible that my swf still functions as if these two packages where there. Does the import actually embed these inside the swf or what?
Flash :: Javascript To Actionscript Keypress Passing Utility?
Mar 25, 2009Is there an existing javascript library for relaying key press events in the browser (or certain divs) into flash? I am hoping there might be a library kind of like this one for mousewheel events?Something like this handles javascript keyboard shortcuts great. I suppose I could just listen for those events and pass the ones I want into flash?These are great examples, however, if flash has focus, then javascript keystrokes are lost. How can you ensure that all key events go through javascript?

I've tried custom builds that others have done and it works fine - just building my own results in a dud. (and yes I do have haxe and swifmill installed). The only thing I can think of is perhaps the latest version of swifmill or haxe is causing the issue.

Jun 29, 2010I have a bunch of functionality which is going to be used throughout the application.I already have some utilities which work ok such as changing an AS3 object into XML.public static function convertMyObjectToXML(o:Object): XMLThis can go in a UTIL class somewhere.nother thing i would like to do is create a "createDirectory" via php. public static function createDirectory(name:string, path:String): voidThe problem is, in order to get the response from the server, i need to listen for the load to complete (or fail).So am i right to think that static methods are not possible or desirable here? How else can i solve the problem of reusing such a method throughout an application?

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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Particular Mc To Be Deleted From The Array?
Mar 2, 2005I am doing a small test with arrays. I have 5 purple movie clips, their instance names are: p1,p2,p3,p4,p5.
I have declared an empty array called purple. On press of each mc I want the particular mc to be added to the array, and on press again I want the particular mc to be deleted from the array.
However, this does not work, it seems to be deleting the lastly added mc name from the array no matter of which mc I unpress.
I am new with arrays, I am using pop and push. I will upload my file. Could someone have a look at it please? Is there another array command to add and delete the particular mc which is presses and unpressed, and not the one that was last added to the array?

View 12 RepliesActionscript 2.0 :: Reuse A Deleted Function?
Oct 24, 2011We area trying to create a virtual world application. We are using hitTest to make the avatar enter the room. That hitTest event is inside an onEnterFrame event of the avatar so every time the avatar is on the stage it runs the function and detects if it hits the hot spot or not.
So onEnterFrame we have: (shortURL is a variable that points to the movieClip)
Code: Select allif(this.hitTest(shortURL.detectRoom1)){
attachDialogue(1, "room.swf");
}
[Code].....
The code works, however when the user clicks on no, the dialogueBox still appears since the avatar still hits the room's hotspot. If I remove the commented "delete attachDialogue" clicking the no button will remove the dialogueBox movieclip without any problems. However when the avatar walks on other hotspots it doesn't call the function again.
Are there other ways how we can remove the movieclip and set the attachCounter to 0 when the no button is clicked? Or how can we reuse a deleted function?
