Memory issue in flashlite

[kentei]

Hi All,

Please help me!

I'm a new bie with flashlite. I have an issue with memory. I play list of video on device(nokia E66). But it plays about 20 files, it shows error "Not enough memory to open file". Could you please help me to solve this error?


Thanks.

Can you describe how you handle the previous 20 files ? Are you doing any garbage collection ...
For eg, are you associating the same Video Object to play diff files or creating 20 objects ?

Info -> you may test/profile memory usage in Device Central ...

This is my code:

var nc:NetConnection;
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream;

var arr:Array = ["http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv",
"http://www.esnips.com/videoads/video_ads_channel/twtiter300x250.flv"];
var index:Number = 0;
function init(){
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
myVideo.attachVideo(ns);
trace("------------" + arr[index].toString());
ns.play(arr[index].toString());
}

function startMovie(){
ns.play(arr[index].toString());
}

init();

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
Key.addListener(keyListener);
keyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
if(Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT){
index ++;
if(index == arr.length)
index = 0;
init();
startMovie();
}

}


I just play this file many times. In Device Central, it's fine.

Ciao,

how big are videos? You might want to use a buffer and also check the memory consumption in DC.

Hi,

If this conversation is about flash lite stand alone applications, then using Carbide C++ with a little modification, helps a great deal. Although the longest time that a single video can be played safely is 15 min, and that too, by deleting and recreating the netstream object.

****************************************************************************************
//_LIT(KStubFlashContent, "\\Private\\<0x********>\\MyApp.swf");
_LIT(KStubFlashContent, "C:\\Private\\<0x********>\\MyApp.swf");//for application to run even from the memory card

TUid CstubApplication::AppDllUid() const
{
return KUidFlashStubApp;
}

CApaDocument* CstubApplication::CreateDocumentL()
{
RProcess currentProcess;
TFileName fileName(KStubFlashContent);

// Get letter of drive to which app was installed. It might be E or F instead of C
fileName[0] = currentProcess.FileName()[0];
currentProcess.Close(); // Close handle (not the app).

config.iIsMMI = EFalse;
config.iIsStubApp = ETrue;
//config.iContentFileName.Copy(KStubFlashContent);
config.iContentFileName.Copy(fileName);
config.iContentChecksum = 0;
config.iExtensions = NULL;
config.iReserved1 = NULL;
config.iReserved2 = 20000;//to increase memory to play videos for a long time
if (!FlashStubsSupported())
{
User::Leave( KErrNotSupported);
}
return CreateFlashDocumentL(iFlashLibrary, this, config);
}
