Thank you all guys. I think this makes it rather difficult
to deal with if you use bitmaps a lot.
I've built a complex RasterText class that works with bitmaps
and in some cases it's very useful to render the text, get the
resulting bitmap and then destroy the RasterText instance. The
bitmap could then be attached on a movieclip. If you do that
with dozens of bitmaps it's a pain to keep track of all of them in
seperate variables.
Anyway,
Thanks a lot!

Dimitrios Bendilas

Subject: Re: [FlashCoders] BitmapData.dispose()
Hello,
It looks that the garbage collector deal different with BitmapData
objects. You can easily use some Gigabytes of memory putting this code
in some onEnterFrame loop for example. You can find more about this
issue on Grant Skinner blog...it was discussed there a time ago.

Good luck!

Hello,
Quick question.
private function createBitmap():Void {
var bitmap:BitmapData = new Bitmap(200, 200, false, 0xFF0000);
clip.attachBitmap(bitmap, 0);
}
If I never execute .dispose() on the bitmap, does it remain in memory?
It seems logical to me that it remains there only until the function is
finished. It's a local variable so I would expect the memory gets freed
as soon as the local variable dies.
Thanks!
