I'd say, keep the loader instance (instead of creating a new one each time) and
unload the loader content (the swf) using
Loader.unloadAndStop.

All I can say is that you aren't releasing all of the references to this
material that you are trying to release from memory.
So after you make this call
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
make that = to null as well as any other time that you are referring to this
content you are trying to rid.
I know if you run your program in Flex Builder and choose the profiler, you
can actually purge the garbage manually and see if the object you want to be
deleted gets purged. If it hasn't then there is still something that is
referencing it. However, after looking at your code it seems that you are
writing it on the timeline and i'm not sure how you would go about putting
that into Flex Builder.

Well I'm going to use gskinner's workaround by pulling the content swf from
a subdomain. I am not looking at task manager overall sys memory but, at the
privat working set from the processes tab. And I can see it get loaded then
every refresh it adds 2-4MB to the working set. On page refresh it drops
back to where it was.

First and most important, are you sure it's leak? The fact that Firefox (not

there's a leak. At all.

Perhaps it helps to get my point across.
Looking at Qindows manager or System.totalMemory is probably the worst
possible way to detect a leak, given how the player works. You'll get tons
of false positives and the info is rather useless anyway.
What has been of great help, at least for me, is using Flex Builder's
profiler. It lets you inspect objects in memory, force a gc, etc. Plus, if
you do find a leak, you can trace where the leaked object has been
allocated. A simple test for your scenario would be taking a snapshot before
loading your swf, then another when it's loaded, then unload, force a GC and
take another snapshot. Then you can compare memory at those points and be in
a better position to determine if there's a leak, and, in that case, what
could be causing it.
Hope it helps.

Just out of interest - why are you recreating the Loader() and
re-adding the listeners each time? It should work if you just create
the Loader once, add the listeners once - then every time you call
load() with a new URLRequest, you'll get new progress and complete
events.
Might help with your leaks.

I see. But when you refresh the page, the Flash Player instance is tore
down, so the player's memory is released. When you reload a stub swf, the
memory used by the player might or might not be released immediately. Most
likely it won't. That's not necessarily a bug or a leak. It could be, but my
point was that you should keep in mind that GC is not deterministic; because
maybe you don't have a leak in the first place. The mere fact that the

However, there still remains the fact that my browser is at say 146,000K

more and now the working set is up to 300,000K. Refresh the page that the

So, is this code not removing the content.swf appropriately on my Timer?
Shouldn't GC be working appropriately and FF not adding additional memory?

Juan Pablo is correct, and it's important to understand why. (If you already
understand garbage collection, you need read no further, unless you want to
check the accuracy of my description :-)
As you create objects, or even variables, the Flash player allocates
memory--this is common to most runtime engines/virtual machines, including
Shockwave, C#, Java, Visual Basic (I think), and all the way back to UCSD
Pascal.
When you delete an object, or a variable goes out of scope, that memory is
no longer needed, and the Flash player notes that it is available for
re-use. It does not, however, immediately re-use the memory--in fact, it
probably doesn't even zero it out right away. The data are still there, but
the memory is marked as available.
These memory blocks are often not contiguous--your memory looks something
like a fragmented hard disk. You have a few bytes here, a couple K bytes
there. When the Flash player's memory gets too fragmented, it does a
garbage collection. That is, it moves currently-valid objects and
variables around to make everything contiguous (un-fragmented) again. It's
much like defragmenting your hard drive, except it is done in RAM (or
virtual RAM).
The browser is probably doing the same thing. If the user has navigated away
from your Flash page, it doesn't necessarily free that memory immediately.
In fact, it probably won't, so you can still navigate forwards and
backwards.
It's sort of like deleting a file on your disk used to be. I think it's
handled differently now, but in the bad old days, the OS would simply write
a special character into the first byte of the file. There were utilities we
used to recover accidentally deleted files--we could explore the disk, find
the data, change the first byte back to what it was supposed to be, and the
file was restored. (That's somewhat simplified, but it's the right concept).
HTH.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson

RE: [Flashcoders] [MEMORY LEAK]
I have 2 swfs.
1) Loader SWF: no assets are on stage nor are they loaded into other than
the content swf. The code is a timer and a loader. The timer reloads the
loader every 30 seconds which pulls in the content swf. And yes the remove
something from the display list at position 0. is the content swf which
does disappear when removed from the display list. When I check for
numChildren there is indeed only one item in the display list which is then
removed.
2) Content swf: loads an xml file with 10 references to thumbnails, then
after finished it loads the thumbs into a carousel.
The timer essentially kills the content swf and reloads it. The purpose of
the entire app is to show thumbnails of videos currently being watched and
refreshes every 30 seconds.
Is it possible that the content swf is loading something that is running as
a global var or something which keeps it in the loader swf?

TS,
what is the content that you are loading from this external swf every 30,000
milliseconds? It is feasible that what you are loading is causing the

I never saw where you ready the swf itself for garbage collection. I see
that you are setting the loader to null but you still have the content on
the stage. Although it looks like you are trying to remove something from
the display list at position 0.
Are you sure that you are removing what you are intending to remove? Maybe
a more thorough emptying of the display list is in order such as a for loop
through the list, removing whatever might be on it.
And keep in mind that the garbage collection doesn't necc happen as soon as
you make something = null. It happens on a garbage cycle when Flash feels
like it, not when u want it to.
In Flash Player 9, the garbage collector's operations are deferred. This is
a very important thing to understand. Your objects will not be removed
immediately when all active references are deleted. Rather, they will be
removed at some indeterminate time in the future (from a developer
standpoint). The garbage collector uses a set of heuristics that look at the
RAM allocation and the size of the memory stack, among other things, to
determine when to run.

In Flash Player 9, the garbage collector's operations are deferred. This is
a very important thing to understand. Your objects will not be removed
immediately when all active references are deleted. Rather, they will be
removed at some indeterminate time in the future (from a developer
standpoint). The garbage collector uses a set of heuristics that look at the
RAM allocation and the size of the memory stack, among other things, to
determine when to run.

Yes I understand garbage collection(GC) and how it's SUPPOSE to work :)
However, there still remains the fact that my browser is at say 146,000K

more and now the working set is up to 300,000K. Refresh the page that the
swf is on and memory drops back to 146,000K. Now, turn off the mechanism
that kills the content swf and re-adds it to the main swf and viola, the
memory stays consistent at 146,000K.
So, is this code not removing the content.swf appropriately on my Timer?
Shouldn't GC be working appropriately and FF not adding additional memory?
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {

mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,

mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,

mLoader.unloadAndStop();// clear from memory
mLoader = null; // clear from memory
mLoader = new Loader(); // clear from memory
startLoad();

PS I've been in IT since I was a kid and yes they still do mark the
sectors
with a special character. The only secure erase from a drive is to do full
format and go a step further by writing back on the drive with garbage
data
many times over until your paranoid self can feel good about it. However,
ultimately physically destroying the drive is the best way =)

Juan Pablo is correct, and it's important to understand why. (If you

understand garbage collection, you need read no further, unless you want

check the accuracy of my description :-)
As you create objects, or even variables, the Flash player allocates
memory--this is common to most runtime engines/virtual machines, including
Shockwave, C#, Java, Visual Basic (I think), and all the way back to UCSD
Pascal.
When you delete an object, or a variable goes out of scope, that memory is
no longer needed, and the Flash player notes that it is available for
re-use. It does not, however, immediately re-use the memory--in fact, it
probably doesn't even zero it out right away. The data are still there,
but
the memory is marked as available.
These memory blocks are often not contiguous--your memory looks something
like a fragmented hard disk. You have a few bytes here, a couple K bytes
there. When the Flash player's memory gets too fragmented, it does a
garbage collection. That is, it moves currently-valid objects and
variables around to make everything contiguous (un-fragmented) again. It's
much like defragmenting your hard drive, except it is done in RAM (or
virtual RAM).

Hello, this issue is killing me. I had a swf that loaded an xml file then
loaded images from the xml file and then killed the display list, xml,

however, I watch firefox take away memory consistently and when I refresh
that page memory use drops back to normal. So, I said screw this, I'm going
to create an empty swf and load the swf with all the magic in it and add it

one reference to the swf when I was done with it, I should have fixed my
problem. Here's my code. Can someone please tell me what is going on?

There's no _width in AS3.. it's width.
Array access notation should work fine:
photoStrip_mc[thumbnail + i + _mc].width;
As a sidenote, you're better off storing references in an array for easy
access later.
myClips = new Array();
var len:uint = 10;
for(var i:uint=0; ilen; i++) {
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
photoStrip_mc.addChild(mc);
myClips.push(mc);
}
If you need to access the clips at some later time, just loop through the
myClips Array.
var len:uint = myClips.length;
for(var i:uint=0; ilen; i++) {
var mc:MovieClip = myClips[i];
mc.width = someValue;

From a usability perspective, there is an issue you will definitely want to fix. I would make clicking on a color stick better than you currently do so that a new color does not get changed on the bag when you roll out of the area. Otherwise, to change a color and make it stick, you have to carefully roll your cursor straight up or down to get out of the color selection area. instead, make rolling over change colors inside a smaller version of the bag, and when you click a color, make it stick on the final larger view of the bag, or something like that. Or do away with the rollovers alltogether and only make the colors change on the bag when you click on a color, then it would stick and you wouldn't have the rollover change conflicts. I know you have some kind of click to make it stick functionality already, but it's getting erased by the rollovers. I tried making a bag all red or all yellow and found it difficult becauase the colors kept changing due to the rollovers. Also, the black font's face and weight are a little bland, especially against the grey. Grey is good, but overall it's a little blah. Not too bad though. I would also dump the standard add to cart Flash button in favor of a nicer looking custom one with an icon.
