Memory leakage in idle application?

[Brigitta]

Hi,

I just started my (not too small) Laszlo application and waited until the memory used was stable (about 50M). After one hour of doing nothing the memory had increased to 90M.

Does anyone have an idea what the reason might be? This is really urgent.

And can anyone tell me how to find "memory leaks" as described in chapter 50 of the developers guide? I tried that in the debugging window but there never came any result. Is it possible, that it does not work with large applications?

Regards

Can you provide more information ? Like which browser ? Which runtime (flash version or dhtml ) ?
What results did you get from the suggestions in the manual ?
Have you tried different browsers ?

Hi,

the runtime is swf7 and I tried it on Firefox 2.0.0.6. I have not yet tried another browser since I thought flash would behave the same in IE.

As I wrote above I got no result from the suggested test. There never came a 'Trace Done' from markObjects() and I don't know how long I should have waited. I did wait about 10 minutes.

Firfox, depending on the "add-ons" will do a memory crawl. Have you verfied that this does not occur with other flash games ? Also what version of the flash plugin are you using in firefox ?

[Brigitta]

I have Flash 9.0.45.0 and I have no other plugins installed. And I do not use any flash games.

But I tried IE by now and I let it run idle on both browsers for about 1.5 hours. It seams to be stable after that (at about 95M).

Is it possible that it takes that long to get stable? And how can I reduce the memory used?
