What is image1? What version of Flex? This is a known issue that is still under investigation but is better in Flex 3. Does the process memory shrink if you minimize the browser?

I'm trying to schedule a refresh of an image every 30 sec (or so), I I leave the browser open the IEXPLORER size grows with every load. I tried cachePolicy="off" Here is an example of what I'm doing import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.TimerEvent; import flash.utils.Timer; private function refreshCharts():void { image1.cachePolicy="off" image1.load("http:\/\/www.someSite.com/someImgage.gif"); } private function ShortTimer():void { // creates a new five-second Timer var minuteTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 150); // designates listeners for the interval event and the completion event minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTick); minuteTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerComplete); // starts the timer ticking minuteTimer.start(); } private function onTick(evt:TimerEvent):void { if(evt.target.currentCount == 150){ ShortTimer(); } } public function onTimerComplete(evt:TimerEvent):void { refreshCharts();// ShortTimer(); }
