Re: [Flashcoders] Known memory leaks in FP10

2010-01-30 Thread Jim Lafser
Only memory leak I encountered was with use of XML class. The idMap property 
needed to be deleted explicitly to fix the leak. This was using Flashlite 3.1. 
(BTW tracing idMap would show undefined - if use ObjectDumper would get a 
different trace result.)

Hello,

I am currently working on an interesting project that has to be able to run as 
long as possible. But at the moment I can't get it running more two hours after 
that the FlashPlayer.exe has 100% CPU usages and crawls down the system in such 
manner the player has to be killed.

Now I am trying to use the Flex Builder's Profiler to find any memory leaks but 
I don't have much luck yet because the Flash Player keeps crashing when being 
run via the profiler. Now my questions are:

    (a) Are their any known memory leaks in the FP10 when using:
        (1) secondary or client SWFs files (main swf > client.swf)
        (2) playback of video
        (3) use of client swfs with only timeline-based animations/assets

    (b) Are their any lists with all the open memory leaks in FP10?
    (c) Anyone been able to use the listed techniques/features listed in (a) 
for more then 300+ hours?
    (d) Would the use of FP10.1 might improve the situation?

P.S. If anyone know some people at Adobe who could give me tips or help me, I 
would love to get introduced.

A desperate Flash user,

Thanks in advance,
Weyert de Boer

[Flashcoders] FDT and AIR?

2010-01-30 Thread Omar Fouad
Hey guys,
I'm using FDT with Eclipse 3.5 on Snow Leopard and I am trying to export an
AIR package. I've set everything such as application descriptor xml file,
certificate etc.
I'm getting a strange error in the console:

at least one file is required
usage:
  adt -checkstore SIGNING_OPTIONS
  adt -certificate -cn  ( -ou  )? ( -o  )? ( -c
 )?   
  adt -help
  adt -migrate SIGNING_OTIONS  
  adt -package SIGNING_OPTIONS   FILE_ARGS
  adt -prepare   FILE_ARGS
  adt -sign SIGNING_OPTIONS  
  adt -version

SIGNING_OPTIONS: -storetype  ( -keystore  )? ( -storepass
 )? ( -keypass  )? ( -providerName  )? ( -tsa  )?
FILE_ARGS: * (( -C  + ) | ( -e   ))*

Any suggestions?

Re: [Flashcoders] WIRED hates Flash

This pic perfectly illustrates the Flash-less browsing experience on the iPad:

despite the file's name, this is safe for work (this is the one place
the swf acronym may have caused confusion).

 Many people will bemoan the lack of Flash in the iPad. It wasn't

 but eagle-eyed viewers would have seen the missing plugin icon on the
 New
 York Times site during yesterday's demo, and given that Apple clearly
 hates
 Flash as both a non-open web "standard" and as a buggy, CPU-hungry piece
 of
 code, it's unlikely it will ever be added, unless Apple decides it wants
 to
 cut the battery life down to two hours.

 Who needs Flash, anyway? YouTube and Vimeo have both switched to H.264
 for
 video streaming (in Chrome and Safari, at least -- Firefox doesn't
 support
 it), and the rest of the world of Flash is painful to use.

 In fact, we think the lack of Flash in the iPad will be the thing that
 finally kills Flash itself. If the iPad is as popular as the iPhone and
 iPod
 Touch, Flash-capable browsers will eventually be in the minority.


 go.

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 loading swf movie very slow

2010-01-30 Thread Beatrix Krümmer-Frau

When you add something, you need to remove it = addChild -> removeChild
Coming from AS2 you should understand DisplayObjects...then everything 
is easy...

Re: [Flashcoders] WIRED hates Flash

2010-01-30 Thread Anthony Pace

Angela:  That is a great suggestion.

Normally a client will ask for detection, but some will opt to allow the 
user to choose which version as browsers false report and failing 
gracefully doesn't always work.


 eg. Which version (plain html with javascript employing hacks to make 
it work with each browser, or fun and flashy)?


So in this case, why not state something similar to what Angela 
suggested? if they choose flash, give a link to Apples complaint e-mail 
and government consumer affair websites where users can publicly 
register complaints.
