There's a glitch in the profiler/debugger-player where strings don't get cleaned up. If two memory snapshots only differ by strings that have no backreferences, run it in the release player and see if memory still accumulates. In my experience, you will see memory stabilize in the release player.
Are your images really Images? If so, they should be unloading, but check with the profiler to make sure there are no backreferences to them. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of akila_ksri Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 10:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Memory leak caused by Image and String objects 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.
