Hey everyone! I've got a pretty big problem with our application that we're releasing in a couple weeks. The app is developed with Flash and Java, and the problem is that the Flash Player gobbles up OS memory and then never releases it back to the OS...it just keeps gobbling it up getting larger and larger. I found a command line utility for the PC that allows you to target the process running and force it to release it's un-used memory back to the OS. But we also are releasing our product for Mac OS X and need to find a way to achieve this on the Mac as well. Does anyone know of a way using a utility or AppleScript/Shell script to get access to a process and tell it to release/flush memory? Thanks a ton for any advice on this!
