I'm sure you realize that having an app reload unexpectedly could annoy users. A well-designed app should never run out of memory. Have you tried using the profiler to control memory usage? This post can help you get better results from the profiler and explains how to measure memory: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/09/using_the_flex_builder_3x_prof.html
If your app is trying to save some state across the reload, I would look for issues there first, but I would also test a simple "hello world" app to see if you see memory increases during a reload of that app. Also try minimizing the browser and restoring it. It maybe the browser itself isn't cleaning up. -Alex From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kkkenio Sent: Friday, October 31, 2008 9:39 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] reload app by refreshing browser increased memory usage Hi all: everytime user fresh browser to reload our app, the FlashPlayer used memory will increase around 20MB. is that how the flash player works, or is this a bug of our app? What we want to do is reducing the memory usage by reloading the app when the app detect that it has touched a predefined max memory. pls share some light, not sure how to figure out this problem.
