Hello,
While doind some tests, I ran into something that seems a bit weird to me.
On stage I have two movieclips, "p1" and "p2" and a button, "btn".
Each movieclip has a big bitmap (800x600px).
The following code is on frame 1. These are the only things in my app.
-----------------------------------------
var n:Number = 0;
p1._visible = false;
p2._visible = false;
btn.onRelease = function():Void {
_root["p"+n]._visible = false;
n++;
_root["p"+n]._visible = true;
}
-----------------------------------------
So when you press the button the first movieclip appears.
When you press it again, it hides the first movieclip (p1)
and shows the second one (p2).
I run the program and watch the memory on the Task Manager:
Program executes: 8MB
Btn pressed once: 10MB
Btn pressed twice: 12MB and it stays there
And yes, if I only show p2 it goes to 10MB as well, so 12MB
is the sum of the two clip's size on memory.
So, I show p1, then hide it, but it doesn't get removed from memory.
Is that how it should behave?
Even if I removeMovieClip() the clip I'm hiding, the memory still doesn't go
down.
It's Flash 8 and the movieclips are not bitmap cached.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dimitrios Bendilas
