I had similar issues and solved it by minimizing/restoring the App via a third party wrapper (SWF Studio in my case) in an Interval. It seems that by doing that the Garbage Collector is forced to run, it´s the same for Win.shide/show.
However I was not able to find the memory leak in my code yet, it is quite complex with bunch of AS2 classes involved, but I *think* I deleted evere reference after use, but maybe I´m wrong with that,... hth André -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Cook Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 2:42 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Memory leak in Flash projector On Feb 25th 2006 Andreas Rønning wrote: > This is very serious.

For instance what kind of features or media types or actionscript are causing the leak? We have a flash 8 application that has to be able to run for months without rebooting, but was leaking memory at 31Mb/hour! I realized I still had a textarea logger running but having removed that it is still leaking at 5MB/hour. We've tried running it as Flash 7, and also tried disabling all flv movies, but it still seems to leak at the same rate. Does that sound like something wrong we're doing in the actionscript (e.g. somehow holding on to references so stopping the garbage collector freeing the memory?) or like a player bug? Is there a way to force the garbage collector to run? (our application often has the CPU near 100% - I wondered if garbage collection only happens when the CPU is quiet?) Has anyone seen the memory leak go away when switching to zinc or a similar projector?
