Oh, its very easily an issue with memory management because regrettably that's one of the parts of AS3 I continue to have trouble with. I try hard to pick up after myself (listeners, bitmapdata, cancel loaders, close connections), and run ActiveGraph to get an estimate. But how do you track it down once it's started!
I with I could switch to Flash Develop, but I'm on Mac, and I haven't found an alternate IDE yet. Any ideas there maybe? By the way, this is also killing my browser sometimes. So I'm in quite a bit of trouble. The last time I had a similar problem, it was to do with Flash Player. Apparently masking a text field and then moving it under the mask (scrolling) is bad. So you stick it in a container and then mask and move that! I was hoping there was a limited amount of things that can actually crash Flash, but then again... 2008/6/23 Cedric Muller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Memory management not done right = garbage collector piling up > >> I noticed Flash crashes very quickly when memory management is not done >> right.
