Description

Flex SDK 4.5.0.19786

Every time I change the VideoDisplay source, the physical memory usage of ADL.exe increases by 8MB or more. If I keep changing the source, the memory usage of ADL.exe keeps increasing and never decreases.

In my FXP project attached, the source is changed automatically every 0.5 seconds, but I tested this with 3+ seconds and got the same result.

Changing the source to NULL before setting it to the new stream makes no difference.

After numerous source changes, the ADL.exe process crashes @ 650MB physical memory used.
