I did run a profile last night.  As far as I can tell, everything is
normal... 

 

Peak Memory: 3486 k

Current Memory: 1482 k

 

3486k isn't anything that should be causing the system to run out of
memory and crash.  There aren't any class instances hanging around that
shouldn't be there.  Memory doesn't "staircase up" after the GC runs.
Everything appears to be collected properly.  Unless I am
mis-interpreting the data... If someone feels so kind as to take a look
at a snapshot and confirm my interpretations, here's an image of what
I'm analyzing.  I left the profiler on over-night, and this is what I
came in to in the morning - so there are *lots* of cumulative instances
for a few classes: http://jonathon.wmtstaging.com/profile.jpg 

 

This app does load static .swf's on a timely basis (every 2 seconds or
so).  I vaguely remember hearing that loading external .swf files can
cause memory issues - could that be the case?  And would those leaks not
be present in the profiler?

 

On a related note - "Peak Memory: 3486 k."   What exactly does that
mean?  When I've watched the app run inside IE7 or Firefox, the browsers
memory usage increases far more than 3 megs worth.  Is there really that
much browser overhead when running Flash apps?

Use the proflier to watch for memory leaks.
