I'm running into a similar problem, but I don't think the issue is the async jpeg encoding. I think the problem is generally with flash player.
I'm working on a flash application that gets large (~15mb) jpeg images from the users file system, the resizes them and recompresses them using the async jpeg encoder class, then uploads the results to a server. It works fine if you are only doing this with a few images, but when you run the software with hundreds of images, flash eventually crashes. I switched back to the native jpeg encoder, and still had the same problem. When I run the profiler, flash seems to be doing everything right...the application runs using a steady amount of memory, and there are not excessive objects being created then loitering. However, when i look at the mac's activitiy monitor (this is similar to task man on windows)...Firefox steadily uses up more and more real memory and virtual memory as the images are uploaded. Eventually flash crashes when it has used up all the system memory available. So it appears that the flash player is not returning unused memory back to the browser, or that the browser can't make use of the freed up memory. I've tried reusing ojects, BitmapData.dispose(), unloading, unloadandStop(), etc... I can't seem to find a way to fix this one. Has anyone run into a similar problem loading lots of content into flash player, but not able to recover the memory? Help with this one would be much appreciated!
