I have a list which always displays 3 items using a custom list renderer. As items are added to this list, the last one in the list is removed (FIFO Queue), and a DefaultListEffect is used to animate incoming and outgoing items with a fade effect.
The problem is that after some time (~5000 items passed through this list) the memory usage gets very very high, and if I profile the application I can see that instances of my renderer are not being removed. In order to solve this I attempted to create a factory that would cache the tiles and reuse them and use that as my itemRenderer instead, but unfortunately it appears that if I reuse a tile that has already been used it doesn't show up at all. I thought this was probably due to the list effect setting it to invisible, height 0, etc... so I attempted to reset all those settings before passing the item from the factory to the list, but it still just isn't working correctly. Is there a way to reuse the renderers and still have them show up properly to alleviate my memory leak?
