If you have more header renderers than columns, I'd be checking them for leaks using the Profiler.
See http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/09/using_the_flex_builder_3x_prof.html for tips on using the Profiler.

DataGrid headerRenderer is a simple Label with a toolTip, and there's just 15 columns in the grid itself. Before the data is even populated, I have 75 instances of the header renderers (5 for each column), and they never get cleaned up. Around 35-40% of my application memory is then tied up in non- recycled headerRenderers. any ideas? --- In [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, "Dimitrios Gianninas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi, > > when you go to a tab for the first time, it gets created along with all of its components and they will stay in memory so long as the app exists. If you are using creationPolicy="all" on your TabNavigator, that is really bad, dont. That means all tabs are being created and maybe the user will never go to most of them. > > Also if you are caching data that you no longer need, set it to null to let the GC clean it up. > > hope that helps. > > Dimitrios Gianninas > RIA Developer Team Lead > Optimal Payments Inc. > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>] On Behalf Of Nirav Gosalia > Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 10:21 AM > To: [email protected]<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Application Memory Footprint > > > > Hi, > > We are developing a CRM application using Flex. > > The SWF size is 1.5 MB.
