This is very interesting. Is it just a matter of loading a Flash 8 fla, and making a Flash 9 swf? Or would we need to convert from AS2 to AS3, etc.? > I have no idea what memory leak issues you're talking about with the > Flash player. ... There is one described here: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/10/major_flash_pla.html And the one I've had problems with described in the thread here: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2006-March/161859.html Beyond what is written there I convinced myself it is a player bug simply because it will correctly free up all memory if you minimize then maximize the player window. Without doing the minimize/maximize trick it seems like it does not do certain types of garbage collection (but it does garbage collect something, as I see the memory usage wobbling up and down).
