I think this has been discussed before, but I can't find it in the
archives.
I need to unload members from memory, and unloadMember doesn't seem to
be working. Dir MX, Win XP Pro and Mac OS X (Panther).
My program is mostly code. I have a number of zero-pixel holder sprites
that I load members into as I need them. Any kind of member--video,
audio, text, graphics, and so on.
If I don't actively manage the unloading, the memory usage quickly
climbs until things stop working.
So I put in some code to unload an activity's assets when I leave that
activity. It's in an object, and here's the relevant code:
on mUnloadMembers me
if pMemberList.count > 0 then
repeat with i = 1 to pMemberList.count
pMemberList[i].unload()
end repeat
end if
pMemberList = []
end unloadMembers
I've checked, and the list contains the members I want to unload. For
example, I'm at a break point in the debugger, and pMemberList[i] is
(member 28 of castLib 4).
But memory usage continues to climb as fast as if I weren't doing
anything. I check the loaded property of the member in the debugger, and
it stays true even after it has been specifically unloaded.
This isn't a code memory leak--in the memory inspector, the "Used by
Program" memory stays pretty constant. The "Cast and Score" memory is
what's killing me.
Any ideas? How can I _really_ unload cast members?
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
