The system. disposexml () method is added for Flash Player 10.1 and air 1.5.2.

Garbage collection is a noteworthy sensitive topic for developers. The garbage collection behavior of Flash Player is uncontrollable. Recently, I found that Flash Player
The system. disposexml () method is added in 10.1 and air 1.5.2. This is another method that allows developers to manually release memory (although only for XML
Object ). Currently, what I know is that APIs that can release memory are ):

• System. disposexml ()
• Bitmapdata. Dispose ()
• Loader. unloadandstop ()
• System. GC ()-this is the most powerful API, but it is only applicable to the debugging version. System. GC () is only for developers. system. GC () is limited to Flash Player debugging and AIR applications. In the air application, the system. GC () method is only enabled in the content running in the air debug launcher (ADL) or in the Application Security Sandbox of the installed application.
