Hi,
I posted this problem a few days ago but it was very muddled and my question wasnt very clear so I removed it. I've been digging around and the memory leak is still persiting. Hopefully this attempt will be clearer.
First off I've run the static analyzer and it reports no memory leaks.
I then ran Instruments and it pointed to a memory leak at this line of code. As far as I can see there is no memory leak.
featured=[[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(130,15, 200, 15)];
//[featured setFont:[UIFont UIFontboldSystemFontOfSize:20]];
featured.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20];
featured.backgroundColor= [UIColor clearColor];
featured.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
featured.text= @"Featured Promo";
[self.view addSubview:featured];
[featured release];
featured=nil;
If I comment out the above code Instruments reports another memory leak in another block of code where there is no discernible leak.
UIButton *populartbutton = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]];
populartbutton.frame = CGRectMake(112, 145, 90, 22); // size and position of button
[populartbutton setTitle:@"Popular" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
populartbutton.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
populartbutton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = YES;
[populartbutton addTarget:self action:@selector(getpopular:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:populartbutton];
Instruments also says
Responsible Library = Core Graphics
Responsible Frame = open_handle_to_dylib_path
This Is the stack trace.

I'm really not too sure how to use this information to fix the problem so any guidance would be appreciated. Perhaps the answer is in the trace but I just don't know what to look for?
