| Are you using Strict mode and declaring you variables like this? Local myVariable:MyType = new MyType Local myImage:TImage = LoadImage("...") OR are you declaring them like this :- Local myVariable = new MyType Local myImage = LoadImage("...") |
| ||
| I do them like this: Local myVariable = new MyType Local myImage = LoadImage("...") |

| I can probably cure 99.99% of your leaks with one short sentence... 'Replace all your integer object handles with proper objects.' So, don't do things like this... Local image = loadImage("myimage.png")Do this instead... local image:TImage = LoadImage("myinage.png")[edit] Luv a duck!.../me orders some 'New Improved Speedy Fingers(TM)' [\edit] |

| Ok. Are you calling Release() on those variables at any point? When do don't declare the variable with it's proper type ie. this :- Local myImg = LoadImage("..") instead of this:- Local myImg:TImage = LoadImage("..") .. you create what is called an integer reference to the object. That is, the variable myImg is Int (and not TImage). These references MUST be released with a call to Release() when you are done with them, or you get a leak. However if you were to do this :- Local myImg:TImage = LoadImage("...") myImage is now automatically garbage collected when it is not longer in scope (you basically don't need to worry about it after you've created it). [edit] Cor blimey Yan! you out-typed me! [/edit] |

| Another reason to use proper types: They are much faster! |
