Hi, I've been working on flare3d for a while and I find it pretty amazing, thanks folks for this wonderfull software.
My problem is this: After making a set of interactive 3d animations and put them in a flash gallery, I found out that no matter how I do there are always elements stuck on the memory and don't get flushed away by the garbage collector, I nulled the references , removed the children and the event listener , and tried the dispose methode... nothing can seem to kill the 3d elements of the animations. recycling also doesn't work ( I can't to seem to find a good way to recycle a 3d scene within flare 3d to be honest ) .
Someone can help me please with that ? or give me some pieces of advice, I would be very gratefull.

Hi med,

we have been working on memory management, but we are very close to Adobe Max and and we will not upload a new version these days.

if you want, send us a private mail  and i will send you a beta version.

about the scene container, we did this way, because many users uses the 3d scenes in flash timeline,so if the movieclip or sprite is removed, the scene is automatically disposed.

if you have your objects in memory, you can try create a new scene and add your saved 3d objects to the new scene. (you need to remove them from the scene before its disposed).

Hi , I tried to free the memory using the beta version source, but it didn't work for me. the memory usage keeps growing each time I load a flare3d file and dispose the scene. here is the code I'm using,

package classes.animations
{
    import flare.basic.Viewer3D;
    import flare.basic.Scene3D;
    import flare.core.Pivot3D;
    import flare.utils.*;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;

    public class Main extends Sprite
    {
        private var scene:Scene3D;
        private var genLink:String;
       
        public function Main(_genLink:String)
        {
            genLink = _genLink;
            xml3DLoaded();
        }
        // the recycling function
        public function mainRecycle(_genLink:String):void
        {
            genLink = _genLink;
            xml3DLoaded();
        }
        function xml3DLoaded():void
        {
            scene = new Viewer3D(this);
            scene.addChildFromFile(genLink);
        }
        // the destroyer function
        public function eventsKiller():void
        {
            scene.dispose();
        }
    }
}

 if u run it on a flare 3d files of 8000 polygons or so u ll notice that the memory usage keeps growing. Can please somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I can fix it to get the garbage collector to do the job ??
Thanks in advance.

Thank you

Well, I'm still waiting for that too. Right now what I'm doing is setting the 3d scenes to invisible and I visible them each time i need to display them , wich is not practical at all but it's the only solution I came up with.

Hi there!

First off, thanks a lot for this great engine, it rocks!

But I'm also having the same issue here

Any news about this?

Cheers!

if anyone can provide us some examples to help to solve this, we´ll be very grateful
