Hi Flash Champs,

             I need help regarding handle leak issue. I have a Flash movie
that parses XML from the server every 1 minute. The XML file that the SWF
parses in every 1 minute interval is around 100- 200 KB. I m seeing that IE
starts leaking handles (not sure if that is related to XML parsing, but the
XML every one minute can trigger a change in the content of the movie (ie.,
what objects should be visible or if a new object needs to be created etc)
).

          When I profiled IE process, I see a lot of "token" handle leaks
(more than 2000 handles leaks per day) ( My understanding on Token Handles:
It is a handle to a security credential. Usually when IE connects to a
server it tries to send the credentials of the logged in user. These
credentials are seen as tokens in windows.)

          Are there any documented issues regarding this? If I keep IE open
for a few days (2-3 days), Flash will cause IE to either crash, or make the
system unstable.. I have disabled all Toolbars (except Adobe PDF toolbar)..

I use HTTP to request XML data from Server (I think thats the only
non-remoting way to obtain data from server in Flash). There is JSP Session
ID based authentication to connect to server before running the SWF. Does
that have something to do with this? When I login to the server with
credentials, but dont launch the Flash movie, I dont have Handle Leaks, that
has led me to the conclusion that something in the flash movie could be the
trouble maker. How do I go ahead debugging? Thanks in advance.


Some details about the Flash Movie:
There are several Actionscript Verison 2 components in the movie all
instances of which are created at runtime using actionscript. all of my code
is in Actionscript 2 There is quite some XML parsing. There are not much
animations in the movie (the movie more has to do with parsing the XML and
representing it in the screen). Please feel free to ask more details that
are needed..


Regards
Varun
