Problems running IOS app on iPad

Hi everybody,

I've been working on an iPad app in Flash and all went well but at the end I discovered a problem. I'm making a childrens book with a page on each frame. And a can move between the pages. On the pages things are happening. Things can be touched and make sounds or can be moved.The problem is that the app seems to be instable. After a while it crashes and I have to start over again.

I did a lot of optimizing as told at different blogs made sure all events are closed when I don't need them anymore but it still crashes. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to build something like this. Forexample is it better to load external SWF's instead of moving between frames...??

I'm working in Flash 5.5 with the AIR 2.7 SDK. And am testig on a iPad 3G.


Hope for some good tips or suggestions,

Thanks in advance.

Joost

Hi Joost:

Are you able to guess whats causing the crash? For eg. Whne you move only to

a particular page? Or only when you perform special interaction? Something

common in each crash? (for eg. Whenever it crashes it loading some sound or

image, after you swap between at least N number of pages). Can you debug the

code? Do you find anything interesting about the crash that would help us?

If nothing of the above. Can you share you app with us privately? If not can

you give us the minimal code that will still cause the crash?

Thanks,

Hi Saumitra,

I Guess it's a memory problem. But I can't find it the app shuts down on a different place everytime but always after a certain time. So it's not connected to a place, image of sound. I tried debugging the code with monster debugger but didn't see anything strange. I'm doing some tests to see where it goes wrong and if I can make a small version where it goes wrong. I'll post it as soon as I got it.
