Hello Rob, Hello Hans, that's it! You saved my day! I was not aware, that I can classes are saved as a tree of objects and functions below _global in AS2. Now that I know, I was able to delete them before loading the Movie again. That works great! I have now written a method to recursivly remove whole classpathes from _global (and memory). That's fantastic. Only drawback is, that I have to know the classpath, I want to delete, but this is no problem in my case!
Thank you a lot!!!!!
