I've read that before. a couple of times. The question here is what happens to frames after the playhead leaves, not when Loader.unload() is called. I wasn't sure if each frame had their own display list or or just one per timeline. It seems like the sensible thing to do would have been to make a Frame class that extends DisplayObjectContainer where their display lists were eligable for gc after the playhead left. I set up the test files with the intention of seeing if fp9 acted that way or not.
