Hi,
I think if you use it locally, you still have to "dispose" of it:

Search for "dispose" in some of these - also, one of the comments in
Grant's article mentions testing in the IDE vs testing in the browser
gives different results for loaded images.

That's a local variable right? Doesn't it happen automatic?
I must concentrate on the _large Sprite, isn't it?

Hi,
Do you have to destroy the Bitmap you create in the largeLoaded
function???

Hi cool list,
I'm struggling with my Image class. It's supposed to load and unload different
sized images dynamicly; but I can't seem to get it to work properly. The
loading works fine, but the unloading not for the full 100%. It visually
unloads the image, but it remains in the memory. I have tried several different
things; I'm a bit stuck now.
Here is a stripped class:
public class Image extends MovieClip
{
...
private var _largeLoader:Loader;
private var _large:Sprite;
...
public function Image( thumbUrl :String,
normalUrl :String,
largeUrl :String )
{
_tu = thumbUrl;
_nu = normalUrl;
_lu = largeUrl;
}
...
public function loadLarge() :void
{
_largeLoader = new Loader();
_largeLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, largeLoaded,
false, 0, true);
_largeLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
errorOccured, false, 0, true);
_largeLoader.load(new URLRequest(_lu));
}
private function largeLoaded( e :Event ) :void
{
var b:Bitmap = Bitmap(largeLoader.content);
_largeLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, largeLoaded);
_largeLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
errorOccured);
_largeLoader = null;
_large = new Sprite();
_large.addChild(b);
addChild(_large);
dispatchEvent(new Event(Image.IMG_LOADED));
}
...
public function clear( full :Boolean = false ) :void
{
// clear normal img and large img
... ?
// tried things like:
//_normal.removeChildAt(0);
//_normal = null;
//removeChild(_normal);
//_large.removeChildAt(0);
//_large = null;
//removeChild(_large);
//delete(_normal.removeChildAt(0));
//delete(_large.removeChildAt(0));
// removes the images visually, but they won't get GC'ed
if (full)
{
// clear thumb and itself
}
}
}
Thanks in advance!
