I have an application that makes use of 3 to 4 'Image' objects and quite a few labels. The memory grows enormously when an Image.load() occurs even though I have only one instance of the Image object at a time. (I need to execute the load() method since the image needs to be loaded dynamically).
When run with the flex profiler, I observed that 'String' objects are consuming lot of memory and hence causing memory leaks. This results in the application crashing after running continuously for couple of hours in IE 7. Would really appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions on how to reduce the memory leak and improve performance.
