RE: [flexcoders] Flex & RAM memory use - (probably a question for the player engineers?)

2009-02-26 Thread Alex Harui
That thread should have concluded that it was fixed in 2.1.  Note that the 
SWFObject that are in  Flex templates is still 2.0 though.

Alex,

Is this still an issue?  I got the impression it had been addressed in 
swfobject 2.1.

For the first problem I don't have clue but for second problem I can say that 
it's due to weird behaviour of Flash Garbage Collector.

Hi,

we're having 2 issues with memory in Flex:

1) Part way through our Flex application we open an external HTML page (3rd 
party page). The user selects items from this page and then closes the page & 
the control is then returned to the Flex application. This 3rd  party page is 
heavy in terms of memory, and that memory is never getting released once the 
page is closed. Is it at all possible that Flex is holding on to a handle to 
that page and if so is there any way to release it, or is this definitely not a 
Flex problem, and more a browser issues or issue with the external page as I 
expect?

2) The Flex app is one part of a much larger website. When we proceed past the 
Flex app (ie the user proceeds to a page where the app isn't embedded), again 
much of the memory Flex was using doesn't seem to be getting released. A 
browser issue?

Needless to say IE seems to be much more of a memory hog, but we've been 
looking at this in both IE and FireFox.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,
Neil

Hi,

application. This 3rd  party page is heavy in terms of memory, and that
memory is never getting released once the page is closed. Is it at all
possible that Flex is holding on to a handle to that page and if so is
there any way to release it, or is this definitely not a Flex problem,
and more a browser issues or issue with the external page as I expect?

2) The Flex app is one part of a much larger website. When we
proceed past the Flex app (ie the user proceeds to a page where the app
isn't embedded), again much of the memory Flex was using doesn't seem to
be getting released. A browser issue?

Needless to say IE seems to be much more of a memory hog, but
we've been looking at this in both IE and FireFox.

Any help much appreciated.
