I was having this problem when I built the map component for www.pikeo.com <http://www.pikeo.com/>
You have to make sure that all references to an object are gone before it will get garbage collected. Once all references to the object are gone it will get collected within 5 seconds usually. --Kelly _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kenneth Sutherland Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 1:18 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] memory issues / garbage collection? I've been playing around with the photoviewer example (from the adobe site) quite a bit in my spare time and I've noticed that when I open up the taskmanager and I run the application that the memory consumption just keeps on going up! Each time I look at another photo, up it goes. So I'm looking for any hints, tips, tutorials or books that will help to get flex to garbage collect all of the old memory that the app no longer needs. Thanks.
