RAM Footprint not shrinking?

[thecow]

In my app I have a window class that takes up around 15-20Mb of RAM everytime it is called. This gets really bad, because it doesn't seem to be giving back the RAM when the window is closed. I thought maybe the window close control was broken, so I put a button in the window and put the close() and destroy() methods in it to no avail.

Is this a problem in the flash, flashplayer, or lazlo? Is there anyway to fix it?

Can you please post a zip file with a complete source code example and instructions on how to reproduce the problem. If you can cut it down to as small a test case as possible, that will speed things up in diagnosing what is happening.

You can email me directly at hminsky@laszlosystems.com
if you wish.

Here is a simple file that creates a window with around a 2Mb footprint. If you watch in Task Manager(I am using windows 2k), it will increase everytime you click the button but you cannot get it to decrease by closing the windows.

Thanks for looking into this.
