I've been fighting memory leaks. I've narrowed it down to use of XML class, but only if I actually parse the data. Using onData doesn't leak, onLoad leaks, parseXML leaks and new XML(str) leaks.   Any Ideas?   Thanks ___ Flashcoders mailing list

Problem might be with the XML class. I've seen problems in Flash Lite 3 where the idMap property of the XML class had to be deleted to prevent a memory leak. Tracing idMap will say undefined, must use ObjectDumper to see what it's actually pointing at. It appears that it will leak only if the

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.)   HTH Jim --- On Sat, 1/30/10, W.R. de

Add second param when instantiate Timer which indicates how many times it should repeat. If don't specify, then defaults to 0 which means run forever. Add an event listener for the Timer.timerComplete event. I think the listener you've already got should be registering for the Timer.timer event

Essential AS 2.0 has a MVC example (in AS 2, of course). In MVC, the model essentially encapsulates the state of the application. The model provides methods that the controller(s) invoke to change the state. The model also handles system events that cause a state change (i.e. timer event).
