Invalid BitmapData

So, I'm porting a game, build for web flash in AIR Mobile (using FlashDevelop). Now, I have one class that runs first, which make vector graphic in bitmaps and re-size them as needed. Than, all this bitmaps (actually, BitmapData) are stored in Vectors. This class is a object of a Singelton class, which allows me easy access to the stored BimapData.

Also, I'm using FlashPunk as the game engine.

Now, I already created around 16 BitmapData and stored them in that class and everything is fine. But, the next BitmapData I add, in new Vector object, is not working as it should. Everything is fine while in RenderScreen, but as soon the game starts, e.g. click start game, it should return the BitmapData to create the menu, but it reports "ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData"

What might be the problem? The BitmapData in question is created from vector graphic using draw(), scaled as needed, with initial width 1024px and height 120px. Also, the game run with around 40Mb memory, so the size is not the problem ...

Any idea why this error shows?

EDIT: I founded the problem and resolve it. How to close this question?

I'd bet my hat that it's a memory problem... error 2015 is either because one of the dimensions are invalid (width or height < 1 ), or because there is not enough memory to create the BitmapData.

The System class has a few properties that might help you debug the state of the memory before you try to create the conflicted BitmapData ;)

And if you find that it is actually a memory problem, besides wearing a new hat, you will have to rethink the way you cache those sprites... try to cache only the necessary pieces for each stage of the application, dispose them before you need to create more, etc. Good luck!
