Performance and Cleanup Questions

[UbiAssassin]

Hello again

 

I have been looking through and implementing some of the new additions offered in V.12 and I started going through my class files and setting up kill calls for all of the functions after I complete them. The following is an example:

 

 private function killAllTitleActions():void
 {
  trace("Clean up the Title and Grid Actions");
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(loadHomeSymbol);
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(loadLevelTitle);
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(loadTitleLineA);
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(loadTitleLineB);
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(loadHomeTitle);
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(buildGridHome);
  TweenMax.killTweensOf(createHomeGrid);
 }

 

It seems Greensock's code does a lot of clean-up under the hood already so I am not really sure if I need to be setting up all of these kill calls or not. My functions will a lot of times create a bunch of tweens and delayedCalls, so I figured that it couldn't hurt to run these kill functions just to make sure that nothing is sticking around in memory. Is this a good practice, or is it unecessary considering all of my tweens and delayCalls are technically complete before I call the cleanup functions.

 

Thanks

Yep, that's a waste of your time. I mean, it doesn't really hurt anything, but it is unnecessary. The engine takes care of completed tweens/delayedCalls on its own.

Awesome, I was hoping that was the case. Thanks a lot for the quick reply
