Hmm, I am reading 8 XML files every 30 seconds using XMLList and XML objects. Are you saying that AS3 XML objects have a big memory leak? Hopefully, the profiler will work tomorrow so I can try to hunt down some issues. If I remember correctly, I don't need to release timeline

[Flashcoders] AS2 ComboBox breaks tabEnabled of TextFields

2010-01-31 Thread Andrew Sinning
In trouble shooting a problem tabbing between TextFields, I pasted my form layout into a simple movie. The tabbing was still broken. I stripped it down to just the TFs, still broken. Finally, I simply removed the ComboBox component from my library and tabbing works just fine. Put the

So, I needed to set the tabChildren = true for the container MovieClip, then it worked. question: how far up the parent-chain does the tabChildren property need to be set? All the way up to _root? If a swf is imported into a clip, does it need to get set all the way up to _level1? Andrew

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not just listeners. It's references to objects in the swf you want to unload. So say if your code creates a reference to a movieClip in that swf, you have to clear that reference or the GC won't reclaim the memory. I was also under the

If my poor memory serves, you only have to set that on the container clip and not up the parent chain, as it's only important for MC's that have tabenabled children -- but you should probably test that theory as I've never applied this to the components, just MC's and imported MC's. Let me know

Hmm, thanks. Currently, I am doing the following: if ( _element != null ) { _element.dispose(); removeChild( _element ); _element = null; } Maybe I should change it to code block below? The dispose()-method tries to stop any Timer-instances and removes event listeners and nullifies
