In what way were they not deleted? How have you assertained this?
Also, what syntax are you using for removeMovieClip? A common mistake is to pass a reference to the movie you want to delete as a parameter, like so: removeMovieClip(myMc) Whereas actually, removeMovieClip is a member function of the MovieClip superclass, so you need to do: myMc.removeMovieClip() This is confusing because sometimes the first one works, depending on the scope you call it from.

So i have views that instantiate whatever movieclips it needs and deletes them when it doesn't need them. the problem begins when a view needs to go away either because it is being replaced by another view or refreshed. i noticed that the clips that were supposed to be deleted weren't really...futhermore, when being reinstantiated, they won't accept values...they exist, but they're undefined somehow... b -------------- Original message -------------- From: Alias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi there, > > For what it's worth... > > Previous to flash 8, the flash player uses both reference counting and > mark/sweep garbage collection, which kicks in every 60 seconds or so, > or when the number of allocated objects is increased by 20%.
