iOS clock tik tik leak leak - GSEventRunModal

[IDMah]

Hi all..

Getting closer to a release.
In Zombies I have a gazillion GSEventRunModal allocs.
Figuring it has to do with My Animation images.

Basically a clock. which ticks second animating to a frame and then pausing.

Do I need to remove the animation after I animate it??

here is the Animation code:

-(void)animateTime:(NSArray *)framesArray 
		  timeView:(UIImageView *)timeViewer
		position_X:(CGFloat)animPosX 
		position_Y:(CGFloat)animPosY 
	   totalFrames:(NSInteger)totalFrames 
{
	
	//UIImageView *animatedOSeconders = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(18.5,315.5, 55.11, 55.11)];
	/*
	animatedOSeconders = [[UIImageView alloc] 
									   initWithFrame:CGRectMake(animPosX,animPosY, 55.11, 55.11)];
	*/
	
	timeViewer.alpha = 1.00;
		 
	//[self.window addSubview:heldAnimatedOSeconders];
	//[self.window bringSubviewToFront:timeViewer];
	[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

	//animatedOSeconders.animationImages = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:oSecondesFrames];
	timeViewer.animationImages = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:framesArray];
	
	// One cycle through all the images takes 1 seconds
	 
	timeViewer.animationDuration = (totalFrames/12);
	
	// Repeat forever
	timeViewer.animationRepeatCount = 1;
	
	
	// Add subview and make window visible
	
	//[self.window addSubview:animatedOSeconders];
	//[self.window insertSubview:timeViewer aboveSubview:heldAnimatedOSeconders];
	[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
	//[animatedOSeconders release];
	/*
	if (clockStart) {
		timeViewer.startAnimating;
	}
	*/
	if (!clockStart) {
		//NSLog(@"animation begun");
		}
	//!(clockStart);
	[timeViewer startAnimating];

	[self performSelector:@selector(doNothing) withObject:nil afterDelay:(totalFrames/12)];
	//[timeViewer removeFromSuperview];
	
    
}

no crashes but Zombies say I keep allocating memory.. and I'd like to plug as many leaks as I can before submission to itunes..

thanks
Ian

ps.

[timeViewer removeFromSuperview];

just crashes the app. think because it removes it before complete.. ?si? where is the correct place to do this?? in AnimationDidEnd?? stop???

If you use ARC, will it not just handle the memory for you?

Leaks, zombies, Allocation which do I use.

Thanks trying to avoid arc right now.
Part(s) as a lesson in writing good code and learning to debug better.

Well I guess I'll keep slugging. but confused which tool is best for
this sort of thing.. Zombies yields a lot of Data but so much that
it constantly crashes. Leaks less but I don't get what it's telling me.

any good (ie for a dummy like me) tutorials on memory leak finding???

thanks
Ian
