| Class | public class Allocator |
| Implements | IAllocator |
The benefits of using an allocator when generating large amounts of objects is two-fold:
var allocator : Allocator = new Allocator( AbstractTest );
var test : AbstractTest;
trace ("Memory Initialized: " + System.totalMemory );
for(var i:int = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
test = allocator.getObject( );
}
trace( "Memory Loop #1: " + System.totalMemory );
allocator.reset( );
trace ("Memory: " + System.totalMemory );
for(var j:int = 0; j < 1000; j++) {
test = allocator.getObject( );
}
trace ("Memory Loop #2: " + System.totalMemory );
allocator.release( );
trace ("Memory Finalized: " + System.totalMemory );
