ATF纹理能明显降低纹理的内存使用，但是有时候你可能不会用到它。如果你是动态生成纹理或者从第三方加载，那就不需要使用压缩的ATF纹理了。今天此文主要讲述如果在不使用ATF的情况下节省内存。
首先，确保你的应用时运行在Flash Player11.7或者AIR3.7下，可以通过Capabilities.version快速查看下。编译的时候也需要将Player11.7设为目标Flash player，可以用如下参数：-target-player=11.7.0，-swf-version=20.输入上面参数可以解锁郎中类型的纹理，这两种纹理都是每个像素是用16位来表示，而不是平常的24位或者32位。
当然需要将Context3DTextureFormat.BGR_PACKED或者Context3DTextureFormat.BGRA_PACKED传递给Context3D.createTexture,这样就可以获得16位/像素的纹理了。
Context3DTextureFormat.BGR_PACKED这种纹理的红色通道需要5位，绿色为6为，蓝色为5位。因为人眼睛对绿色的识别要好于红色跟蓝色。我们可以用RGB565来简化记忆。如果需要alpha值，那就使用Context3DTextureFormat.BGRA_PACKED,每个颜色都有一个4位的alpha值。虽然颜色不怎么精确，但是那就是支持alpha付出的代价。
建立纹理后，只需像以前那样调用Texture.uploadFromBitmapData，BitmapData就会自动样式化为16位/像素。这样在不需要透明度的图片上就减少了33%内存使用，需要透明度的减少了50%的内存使用。
试试这个。我只做了一个小的应用，此应用显示了一个512*512不透明土地纹理和一个128*128的带有一点透明的Flash标志。点击下面的按钮来改变不同的纹理类型。

结果会根据你先则的纹理图片而又稍微的不同。土地纹理使用16位的与24位的相比没多大区别，但是内存却能节省不少。Flash 标志则看起来要糟糕点。即使是阴影模式,图片的网格还是看起来很糟糕， 这可能不是一个降低内存的好例子，但是你还是降低了50%的内存消耗。
