Same here. I recently did a pretty thorough search for a swf profiler... The best solution I could come up with was good ol' fashioned unit testing. If you know the common memory wasters in Flash and you've developed following object oriented design principles you should be able to narrow down the culprits pretty quickly.
My method using Windows task manager ended up something like this: 1) Note how much memory a iexplore.exe consumes when playing an empty swf. 2) Watch memory consumption as you click through the app. When memory spikes, determine what objects were instantiated with that event. 3) Remove those objects one at a time from the project, recompiling and testing each time. When you remove one that makes the memory usage drop significantly, you've found an object that may need some refactoring. Anyone else got a method they like? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Rorex Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 1:50 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash Profiler On 10/21/05, Kevin Bachman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We are building a fairly expansive flash based application which > utilizes Flash Comm Server and remoting as well as support for embedded > media players outside of the flash app. We are deep enough into > development to have begun initial Q&A testing and the initial cause for > concern is memory usage shown by the browser containing the app. My > question, what are the most highly recommended real time flash profilers > being utilized?

I've never heard of a memory profiler for flash. If you find one, please do share. I'm sure many people here could use it (myself included). -David R _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
