Clear bmp/sprites of the memory

[Godah]

Hi,

how to clear bmp/sprites of the memory?

I use this function to generate sprites of the lib:

addSprite(j * tilesDim, i * tilesDim, "spr_" + root["tile_" + map][i][j], mcTile);

function addSprite(X: int, Y: int, c: String, mc: Object) {
    cls = getDefinitionByName(c) as Class;
    bmp = new cls(0, 0) as BitmapData;
    sprite = new Bitmap(bmp);

    mc.addChild(sprite);

    sprite.x = X;
    sprite.y = Y;
    sprite.name = c;
} 

I already tried this:

bmp.dispose()
bmp = null 

But it does not work, the memory continues to increase. Any idea?

Flash is garbage collected so the actual bitmap data will remain in memory as long as there is a reference to it. The MC retains a reference to the bitmap data. Even after you get rid of the MC (and any other references to the bitmap data) you can't predict when the Flash garbage collector will run and release that memory.

You have "we hanve bundled" instead of "we have bundled".
