|Hi,

        Something like this:

import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

//original image in here
container.width /= 10;
||container.height /= 10;|

//maybe invalidate if it does not redraw??
|
var a:BitmapData = new BitmapData(container.width, container.height);
var b:Bitmap = new Bitmap(a);

addChild(b);

a.draw(container);
container.visible = false;|

Hi,

The only way to reduce the memory size of a bitmap is to resize it and reduce the number of pixels.

If you are loading images from the server, you might want to think about generating smaller images server side - you may only have to do this once when the image is uploaded, so this may be more useful if you don't require lots of different sizes / unknown sizes at runtime - depends on the project. Wordpress among other things does this quite nicely for you at upload time (when the Wordpress coders stop moaning about FP10 and fix the uploader, it will be even nicer) and there are lots of scripts which are variations - resize on the fly & cache, etc.

For client side - reduce the size of the container, then draw the bitmap image of this into a new bitmap data object - you should then have a smaller image and you could discard your container'd one.

I can do it by reducing the size of the container object; yet, the bitmap remains the same file sized and can be scaled well.

Is there a way to guarantee the memory usage drops? or at least a better way then mine?
