Is the memory leak with TLF resolved ?

I just put 2 textfields in 2 differents frames. When I navigate into the frames . There is an increase of memory needed.
exemple
http://www.yapiodesign.com/files/TLF_Memory_Leak.zip

I got the same problem, and the only solution i found is to add frams to all the TlfTextfiled layers, and make the TlfTextfiled exist in all the frames of the movie clip.
For example, if my movieClip has 2 frames, and the TlfTextfield has 1 frame only, the movie clip will not be removed from the memory.
If we will add an empty frame to the TlfTextField layer, it will not solve it.
If we will add a frame with exatcly same object of the TlfTextField to the layer (without changing properties such as alpha or color), it will solve it.
I did'nt want the TlfTextField will be shown in all the frames, so i added as3 code in the specific frame for hiding the TlfTextField (myTlf.visible = flase).
It is a dirty solution, but a solution

  • Memory Leak with GotoAndStop()

    I am trying to track down a solution to a memory leak within an embedded video.  If I embed a video on the timeline and then run gotoAndStop or gotoAndPlay to a specific frame every time the frame changes it takes in more memory until it crashes at about 1.7GB however if I run a straight play() on the same clip the memory usage remains constant.  I have also tried System.gc() as it is an AIR App and have tried unloadAndStop() with the embeded video being loaded into a Loader and neither can reclaim any memory.
    I am looking for a a way to resolve the memory leak or another way to be able to rapidly jump to specific frames of video as far as I know this is not possible with external flvs.
    Thanks
    Dave

    video is much like a .gif file.  if you start at frame 0 and jump to frame 30 it needs to redraw what it does nt have in frame 30  which means tellign it to start at frame 30 is the same as telling it to get all information from when it last changed which might be frame 27 to complete the frame of what should display on frame 30.
    this is why its slow to play backwards.  and best to play an flv forward.
    what i would suggest if you do not need video persay, would be to use png sequences.  but if your videos are long then i suppose it would be a greater advantage to keep it compressed.
    what is the quality as well of the video and its size and your frame rate?
    You mention that you are creating a 3d view, how is that?  do you use more than 1 swf ?
    I still think this does not sound like a play head issue, since the video is already compiled.

  • Memory leaks with Third party classes

    Hello all,
    This is fairly known problem. But I guess, my problem gives a new dimention to the problem.
    I have an application which is developed by me. This application ideally needed to use third party classes ( obviously no source code is supplied ). These third party classes provide extra functionality required.
    The problem is, when I don't use third party classes in my application, every thing is fine. When I include third party classes, I am having memory leaks.
    Then I tried to investigate memory leaks with Optimizeit tool. It is new to me. As of now, I understood, we can identify where the memory leaks are occuring.
    finally the problem is, in order to solve this, I need some patches in the code. But I don't have source code for those classes. How to solve this problem?
    For example,
    I use a third party classes in my code like this,
    ThirdPartyMemoryLeakClass obj = new ThirdPartyMemoryLeakClass();
    This 'obj' is made static, as it takes lot of time to create this object. Obviously this object contains several references to other objects, which I can't control.
    In the process of reusing this object, I am getting memory leaks.
    Any ideas regarding, how one has to deal this type of situations? What are the issues involved with this case? Are there any similar problems, which have been solved? are most welcome.
    many thanks for your time.
    Madhav

    Decompile it using jad. Find leak.Yes, I too got the idea and tried to decompile those classes and recompile. I had some problems while recompiling. Is this is the only way to get rid of this problem?
    I was refering to powersoft.datawindow.DataStore class. Does any body here has worked on these?
    Can you suggest me how to find the memory leak causes? if you were needed to find out memory leak causes, what would be your approach?

  • [InDesign CS3] how to find the reason of the memory leaks?

    Hi all,
    I'm working with InDesign CS3. I wrote a plug-in and loaded it into InDesign in debug mode. After I closed the application, I got a console window showing memory leaks as following:

  • Memory leak with CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex

    After creating a thumbnail with CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex, CGImageRelease doesn't seem to work!? I am rendering full-size thumbnails of PDF pages, and this just leaks memory:
    void memLeakTest(CFStringRef sourcePath) {
    printf("Running memLeakTest...
    CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateWithString(NULL, sourcePath, NULL);
    CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url, NULL);
    CFStringRef keys[3];
    CFTypeRef values[3];
    int n=0;
    keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways;
    values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue; //If I set this to false, there is no leak, but I need the thumbnails
    keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform;
    values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
    keys[n] = kCGImageSourceShouldCache;
    values[n++] = kCFBooleanFalse;
    CFDictionaryRef options;
    options = CFDictionaryCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, (const void **)keys, values, n, &kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks, &kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
    CGImageRef image = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(imageSource, 0, options);
    CFRelease( imageSource );
    CGImageRelease( image ); //Doesn't seem to have any effect. Memory continues to balloon.
    CFRelease( url );
    int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    CFStringRef pathUrl = CFSTR("file:/path/to/a/big.pdf");
    while( true ) {
    memLeakTest( pathUrl );
    if( n < maxPages ) sleep(5); //Wait 5 seconds
    return 0;

    I was able to fix the memory leak using the following code:
    void memLeakTest(CFStringRef sourcePath) {
    printf("Running memLeakTest...
    CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateWithString(NULL, sourcePath, NULL);
    CFStringRef keys[10];
    CFTypeRef values[10];
    int n=0;
    //keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageIfAbsent;
    //values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
    keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailFromImageAlways;
    values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
    keys[n] = kCGImageSourceCreateThumbnailWithTransform;
    values[n++] = kCFBooleanTrue;
    keys[n] = kCGImageSourceShouldCache;
    values[n++] = kCFBooleanFalse;
    CFDictionaryRef options;
    options = CFDictionaryCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, (const void **)keys, values, n,
    &kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks,
    &kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks);
    //CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url, options);
    NSImage* imageFile = [[NSImage alloc] initByReferencingURL: (NSURL *)url];
    NSData * data = [imageFile TIFFRepresentation];
    CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithData((CFDataRef)data, options);
    CGImageRef image = CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex(imageSource, 0, options);
    CFRelease( image );
    CFRelease( imageSource );
    [imageFile release];
    CFRelease( options );
    CFRelease( url );
    There are a number of different graphics APIs you could use. I'm no expert in any of them, so I used the simple ones. The above code requires both Objective-C and an autorelease pool, but I'm sure you could use different functions to remove those requirements.

  • Memory Leak with 4.5.1/Java/Solaris

    Hi,
    We are currently running a Java Application using RMI/Weblogic 4.5.1/Solaris 5.7/Java 1.22.
    Behavior that has been observered during the day is that memory usage reaches a stage in which it begins increasing and GC doesn't recover any memory, until the heap reaches an extremly large size, then recovers a significant amount of memory.
    We have even seen the java process grab more memory than specified in the -Xmx parameter and experience a java.lang.OutOfMemory error.
    I have seen postings that describe similar issues in this newsgroup, but none that define a solution.
    This problem is intermittent, and our application can run an entire day without experiencing this memory leak. On the other hand there are days when the memory leak occurrs even when the system is idle overnight.
    Please let me know any information you have gathered on this subject.

    try increasing your virtual memory on your NT system...

    Hi,
    I observed the same confusing stuff in my tests. But I run weblogic 4.5.1 on Windows NT with JDK 1.2.2-w
    Usually, I would get a "Low virtual memory" message from windows
    and if I click ok & shuffle thourgh my windows I would be ok.
    But since last 2 days, I would keep the server running overnight.
    When I return in morning,
    I would find a "Low virtual memory" message and
    on clicking OK. I would find another message tell me that java.exe (which was running weblogic) crashed!!
    Now today I tried to watch the memory usage in Task Manager. And I found the most wierd thing.
    I saw that even when the system was doing virtually nothing,
    except print a string at intervals, the memory usage would go
    up steadyly.
    Even doing a forced finalization and gc did not seem to stop it.
    BUT, BY CHANCE I HAPPEN TO MINIMISE AND MAXIMISE THE WEBLOGIC
    CONSOLE OUTPUT WINDOW.
    WHAT I SAW IN THE TASK MANAGER AMAZED ME!
    THE MEMORY USAGE IN TASK MANAGER HAD GONE DOWN TO 24XXKB, WHILE
    IT WAS ABOUT 20000K OR EVEN MORE.
    This seems to support the fact that during my test, I would
    get the "low virtual memory" message and if OKed it and shuffled
    though application windows (maybe minimise, maximise the weblogic
    console output window in process), I would be able to complete
    my application. But when the message appears during night runs,
    nothing is done and by morning, when I reach to work,
    I would see that weblogic had crashed!!
    You may try that and see if it helps you.

  • Memory leak with fieldpoint and labview

    I have an application which is showing an issue of a memory leak.  The application does several things, but the part that seems to be causing the trouble is related to use of Fieldpoint VIs.  The application reads individual AI channels on a Fieldpoint AI-110 (10 channels, where the set of channels is measured once per second)  I have attached the code related to this.  The memory leak is quite large (~1.5GB in 24 hours of operation).
    I am using LabView 7.1, and Fieldpoint 4.1.  The parent application which uses the attached code is a stand-alone application.  The operating system is Windows 2000.  Fieldpoint communication occurs over a RS-232 link.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Andy,
    I did not see anything fundamentally wrong with what you wrote, but there were
    a few things that I think could be used to be changed.  However, there
    were a few things that I did modify that might make a bit of a
    difference.  In your application you were using sequences and a bunch of
    local variables.  Since LabVIEW is based upon data flow, you can control
    the sequence of execution by making data dependencies and simply wiring one
    thing to the next.  By simply using LabVIEW the way it is meant to run I
    was able to completely remove the sequence structure and also eliminate the use
    of all of the local variables, all while having the exact same execution order. 
    It could be that the local variables were causing the memory leak that you
    noticed, but I really doubt they could be the cause of such a large leak. 
    I really think there is probably something else going on in the application
    because from what I saw from this bit of code there really is no way that it
    would have such large problems.  Users use the FP commands daily without
    any problems, so most likely these are not the root of the problem.
    Go ahead and try the modified code and see if you can implement similar local
    and global variable reducing techniques throughout your application. 
    Hopefully that will help reduce some of the memory leaks you are seeing. 
    Typically the largest cause of an apparent memory leak really occurs from
    building an array within a loop, so make sure you don't have any situations
    where that occurs in your code either.

  • Memory leak with File Write.vi

    Hi All,
    I am trying to save a big data cluster, which includes images, into a data log file. The vis I use are: New File.vi, Write File.vi, Close File.vi.
    The problem is Write File.vi has memory leak  when the data cluster includes images .
    Anyone sees similar case?  Any solution?
    Thanks.
    Aiqiu

    Aiqiu,
    I am glad you found out about flattening your image to a string.  I was about to post and say that you probably didn't want to save the IMAQ image reference to a file, because after you closed the image in memory, there wouldn't be anything for the IMAQ image reference to point to.  You are correct to flatten the image to a string.  Below is a link to a document which discusses doing this to communicate over datasocket, but the processes of flattening the image to a string is the same regardless of whether or not you are sending the image across a datasocket connection or saving to a file.
    Transfering Images with DataSocket
    As for the memory leak.  I am pretty sure that if you passed all of the IMAQ Image references created in the "Image Init Buffer.vi" subVI and then closed each reference individually, that the memory leak would probably go away.

  • Memory Leak with cloneModelFromCastMember()?

    Hello Experts!
    I have been experiencing an apparent memory leak within
    Director 11 when
    using cloneModelFromCastMember().
    I was making the assumption that calling resetWorld() on a
    w3D member
    onBeginSprite() would garbage collect any models previously
    cloned into that
    when I previously ran the movie.
    However, if I repeatedly start and stop the movie Director
    Gobbles roughly
    10Mb more memory each time. The memory usage does not reduce
    upon calling
    resetWorld()
    A good way to replicate this is to use
    cloneModelFromCastMember() on a
    largeish model in a repeat with i = 1 to 50 loop on the on
    beginSprite
    handler.
    Start and stop the movie over and over to see Director's
    memory usage hike
    up.
    Anybody have any advice why this is happening? Do I need to
    explicitly
    delete all models cloned into a member on stopMovie????
    Cheers
    Richard Smith

    Hi Zzzorro,
    Thanks for the advice!
    Why does cloning from external w3D members help? Does it
    avoid the memory
    leak? It never used to happen on Director 8.5 so it has to be
    a new Version
    10 / 11 bug right?
    I need to import several weightmapped boned characters into a
    3D member, and
    due to export issues each character has to have it's own w3D
    file.
    So I have to perform cloning at runtime to build the world. I
    also need to
    clone these characters based on the level, so I can't use
    just one single 3D
    member for both these reasons.
    Thanks for any further ideas.

  • Memory leak with Visa Close in loop

    I read the other posts about the memory leak problems with Visa Close, but eliminating the Visa Close from VI causes problems with read & write (it seems to go out of sync). Any suggestions? Example attached.

    Solved the problem. I had to change the bit count and adjust sort. Removing the Visa Close did eliminate the memory leak.

  • Memory leak with callback function

    Hi,
    I am fairly new to LabWindows and the ninetv library, i have mostly been working with LabVIEW.
    I am trying to create a basic (no GUI) c++ client that sets up subscriptions to several network variables publishing DAQ data from a PXI.
    The data for each variable is sent in a cluster and contains various datatypes along with a large int16 2D array for the data acquired(average array size is 100k in total, and the average time between data sent is 10ms). I have on average 10 of these DAQ variables.
    I am passing the same callback function as an arguement to all of these subscriptions(CNVCreateSubcription).
    It reads all the correct data, but i have one problem which is that i am experiencing a memory leak in the callback function that i pass to the CNVCreateSubscription.
    I have reduced the code one by one line and found the function that actually causes the memory leak, which is a CNVGetStructFields(). At this point in the program the data has still not been passed to the clients variables.
    This is a simplified version of the callback function, where i just unpack the cluster and get the data (only showing from one field in the cluster in the example, also not showing the decleration).
    The function is passed into to the subscribe function, like so:
    static void CNVCALLBACK SubscriberCallback(void * handle, CNVData data, void * callbackData);
    CNVCreateSubscriber (url.c_str(), SubscriberCallback, NULL, 0, CNVWaitForever, 0 , &subscriber);
    static void CNVCALLBACK SubscriberCallback(void * handle, CNVData data, void * callbackData)
    int16_t daqValue[100000];
    long unsigned int nDims;
    long unsigned int daqDims[2];
    CNVData fields[1];
    CNVDataType type;
    unsigned short int numFields;
    CNVGetDataType(data, &type, &nDims);
    CNVGetNumberOfStructFields (data, &numFields);
    CNVGetStructFields (data, fields, numFields); // <-------HERE IS THE PROBLEM, i can comment out the code after this point and it still causes a memory leak.
    CNVGetDataType(fields[0], &type, &nDims);
    CNVGetArrayDataDimensions(fields[0], nDims, acqDims);
    CNVGetArrayDataValue(fields[0], type, daqValue, daqDims[0]*daqDims[1]);
    CNVDisposeData(data);
    At the average settings i use all my systems memory (4GB) within one hour. 
    My question is, have any else experienced this and what could the problem/solution to this be?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Of course.....if it is something i hate more than mistakes, it is obvious mistakes.
    Thank you for pointing it out, now everything works

  • Memory leak with jsp and beans

    The application we have created has one particular page that is designed to stay up in the browser and refresh with new information from database queries once every 60 seconds. Running with Tomcat3.2.1 and IE5.5
    The problem is that the memory usage of java.exe continues to grow until the machine crashes from out of memory. It does take more than 24 hours to crash.
    Things I have tried to do to track down the problem or eliminate the problem.
    - I have explicitly set the scope of the beans to "page"
    - I have watched the DatabaseAccess.class (the beans are all extended from this class) and put in code to watch how many instantiations of the class are made and subsequently garbage collected. This appears to be where the memory leak may reside - hundreds of instantiations from some other source than the page I am displaying.
    - the top frame makes database queries for security and display of a menu system dependant upon security clearance. It does not set any time for refresh (refresh == 0). Nor does it explicitly set a scope for the beans.
    - I have run a different jsp engine to see if this was directly related to Tomcat - same problem with resin2.0.0
    The main jsp page that is in the bottom section of the page has the following code:
    ** only the relevant lines are included here
    <%@ include file="../../common.jsp" %>
    <%
         refresh=60;
    %>
    <head>
    <%@ include file="../../meta_head.jsp" %>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#003399" link="#660099" vlink="#990099" alink="#006666" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
    <%@ include file="../../access.jsp" %>
    <%@ include file="../../page_title.jsp" %>
    <jsp:useBean id="Line" class="jsp.Line" scope="page" />
    <jsp:useBean id="Machine" class="jsp.Machine" scope="page"/>
    <jsp:useBean id="Alarm_log" class="jsp.Alarm_log" scope="page"/>
    contents of meta_head.jsp
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <META HTTP-EQUIV= "expires" content = "0">
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no_cache">
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache" forua="true">
    <META NAME="robots" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">
    <%
    if (refresh > 0)
    %>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<%= refresh %>">
    <%
    If anyone has some suggestions on how to trap this memory leak, it would be terrific. Or, some other things to try to stop the instantiation of the DatabaseAccess object (perhaps setting the scope of the beans in the header to "session" or "application"?).
    Thanks in advance.
    Roberta

    jsp:useBean tags scope declaration :
    page = Create a new instance on each load.
    session = Load instance from the session, if not there, create one
    application = Load instance from the ServletContext, if not there, create one.
    Not sure how you are populating the data variables, but make sure you are closing all ResultSet, (Prepared)Statement, and Connection objects.

  • Memory leak with 1.6.0_07 in applet using Swing

    Java Plug-in 1.6.0_07
    Using JRE version 1.6.0_07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
    Windows XP - SP2
    I have a commercial application that has developed a memory leak with the introduction of the latest plugin. The applets chew up memory and eventually freeze. They did not before. Using jvisualm I see a build up of native arrays, primarily int[][] and char[]. I'm still investigating. Anyone have a similar experience?
    The Applet uses a swing interface, uses buffered images and swing timers, and regularly performs http connections to the server which result in actions via the SwingUtil.invokeLater() method.

    I am Using Internet Explorer Browser Version 6.0.Huge security hole.
    Its not throwing Error / Exception Wrap a try/catch at the highest level possible.
    Catch 'Throwable'. And log/display it somewhere.

  • Memory Leak with JPopupMenu

    It seems there is a memory leak with JPopupMenu. The following program demonstrates this leak. If you run the program, click on show form, and then close the form, the used memory will be GCd appropriately. If you click on show form, then right click on the table to show the popup (even if you dont do anything else with the popup) then close the form, it never GCs the form. I've tried all kinds of crazy things, but I cant seem to find what is keeping the memory from being GCd.

    BTW instead of continually printing out the memory use a profiler (jvisualvm in the jdk/bin directory -> heapdump -> search on your class -> view in instances -> find nearest GC root).
    Looks like BasicPopupMenuUI doesn't remove a reference to the JRootPane immediately. As far as I can see it will be removed when another menu shows.
    As a hackish workaround you can try this in you FrmReferrals#uninit():
                for(ChangeListener listener : MenuSelectionManager.defaultManager().getChangeListeners()) {
                    if (listener.getClass().getName().contains("MenuKeyboardHelper")) {
                        try {
                            Field field = listener.getClass().getDeclaredField("menuInputMap");
                            field.setAccessible(true);
                            field.set(listener, null);
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            // ignored
                        break;
                }Funnily enough though it isn't there when I reduce your code to a SSCCE:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TestBasicPopupMenuUILeak extends JFrame {
        public TestBasicPopupMenuUILeak() {

                                                    "Popup");
                                            popup.add("Item");
                                            label.setComponentPopupMenu(popup);
                                            // named differently so you can find it
                                            // easily in your favorite profiler
