Problem might be with the XML class. I've seen problems in Flash Lite 3 where the idMap property of the XML class had to be deleted to prevent a memory leak. Tracing idMap will say undefined, must use ObjectDumper to see what it's actually pointing at. It appears that it will leak only if the XML file has nodes with an attribute of id.

It should work if you just create the Loader once, add the listeners once - then every time you call load() with a new URLRequest, you'll get new progress and complete events. Might help with your leaks. HTH, Ian On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 2:28 AM, TS <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the info.
