[Swftools-common] Problems with memory consumption

[Mikke Helenius]

Hi,

I have a problem with flash player's memory consumption. I have converted an 
eight page brochure to multiple swf files with python gfx module. After 
conversion each page is approximately 100-200kb in file size. However when I 
load these swf pages dynamically to my viewer application, the Flash player 
suddenly consumes more than 300 Mb of RAM. This causes problems with 
low-performance machines and occasionally even crashes the browser... Does 
anybody have an idea why these "seems-to-be-small" swf files consumes so 
much memory after loading those in flash? Is there anything I could do to 
control the memory consumption?

The source pdf has it's fonts converted. Could that affect to the resulting 
swf memory consumption so heavily?

Thanks for any help!
