App Diagnostic

Hello there,

I built my Flash Lite app using a main structure to load and unload movies, to release allocated memory.
I'm using removeMovieClip method too, to garantee the cleaning.

My tests droping the swfs at "Other" folder and watching the free memory avaiable and the app behavior was successfully.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is, when I packaged the app in a sis file, a strange issue appear.

I'll explain the situation:

When the user finish the 3 stages of the game, the application send him to the end animation (another frame in main movie, unloading the previous). On that window, the user can choose between, click at any place to skip the final animation or wait until the credits list terminate (60 seconds), both options redirect to main menu, unloading the actual movie and reloading the main menu.

So, If the user choose to skip that animation, and start another game immediatelly (up to 60 seconds), the game goes to Main Menu from any point (which means that the tween of credit list is still alive) .

The question is, when I package my app in a sis, the Flash Player just lose the control to alocated memory? It's C++ the owner now?

I'm trying to diagnose my app with y-task, but unfortunatelly when I try to install, it gives me an error "Expired Certificate". I've tried to workaround changing the date time (past and future) of my phone, but it didn't work too

Hi,

The best way to release and reallocate memory in FL is by replacing the existing content in same MC. i.e. you have a content_mc object on stage, and you load your game's stage1.swf in it. when level is done, you can simply load stage2.swf in same content_mc clip, without need to use removeMovieClip. You will notice that memory is reallocated immediately.

You can see the memory usage in FL by using my FL toolkit Oxygen available at http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...Developers_Kit

I guess, using this trick your other issue might also be solved.

If your SIS is a FL stub application, then yes. The stub application defines how much memory FL can use. If its using FL as embedded, then memory will be same as when you start SWF from File Manager.

Tip: For expired certificate, you can temporarily change your device's date few months back, install the SIS and set the date back to current.

Hope it helps,

Thanks Challenger, I was changing the date time for 1 year back. A few months works fine,
