Flash player memory leaks

[myxus]

Everyone know, that FP leaks.
I wasted 4 days trying to get rid of memory loss.. And found out that this is impossible.
Also, i noticed that Zinc picks memory, lost by FP.
But your projector is much more efficient towards to CPU in transparent mode.
So, i want to ask, are you planning to make your own garbage collector ? When, if so?

Please send us a sample(support@swfkit.com), thank you.

It have took two more days from me to find an exact memory leaks source. I think, it is here:
AS1 code

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var sum_1:Number = 0;
var sum_2:Number = 0;
for(i=0;i<100;i++) {
sum_1 += Number(ExternalInterface.call('TestTestTest'));
sum_2 += Number(ExternalInterface.call('TestTestTest'))*2;
}
sum_1 /= 100;
sum_2 /= 100;
_root['aaa'].text = sum_1 + ' ' + sum_2 + ' ' + Math.random();
};

SWFKit code:

//Initialize
function TestTestTest() {
return 1;
}

return true;

This sample leaks about 6.2 Mb per minute at 25 fps. I mean, calling any function via "ExternalInterface.call()" leaks.

Thx for your attention to this problem.

PS. If you are interesting about FP (VM1) leaks, i found this issue:

var a:NetConnection = ...;
a.connect(...);
a.call('...', a); a.onResult = function(infoObj:Object) {};

This sample leaks on multiple "a.call(...)" using (1000 times and more).
People say, much more issues exists, but im already tired hunting that leaks -)

Hello one more time.
Do you think the problem worth not discussing ?
Today i've run tens of tests. And i'm sure ExternalInterface.call(..) leaks. And FP garbage collector can't manage this. Please, tell, what do u think.

Thx in advance.

We really appreciate your great work. We will work on it. Thank you very much.

As what you have said, the memory leaks caused by ExternalInterface.call cannot be freed by the FP VM1 GC. Therefore, it is a bug of the flash player, and we can do nothing about it. Fortunately, the problem does not occur in actionscript 3.

There is a method to force garbage collection - minimizing/restoring the main window.

Thanks for checking this.
Anyway, while testing the problem i've found a solution for myself: i set flags and variables in AS2, and swfkit works with it using setInterval via FlashPlayer.get/setVariable. So i reduced leaks in my app from 250 to 1.5 Mb per 24 hours. :-)
Thanks for cooperation :-)
