Hi, We have developed large applications like CRM typically having several tabs.
We allow the user to travere a list of names in a tree and on his choice we add tabs to the tab navigator. These tabs can be closed by the user using a close button on the tab. Issue: As the user opens new tabs the browser consumes more and more memory(> 250MB). When tabs are closed we explicitly use removeChildAt () method to remove them from the tab navigator. However browser memory consumption does not decrease. In Flex profiler the closed tabs get garbage collected when I click on the 'Run Garbage Collector' button which proves that there are no references to the closed tabs and they are perfect candidates for GC. Why does the browser memory consumption not go down ? The application gets sluggish and eventually hangs ? We are not in a position to do a production release till we get around this issue ? I am using IE7 and flash player 10 Please help !
