Thanks Chris.

I would recommend a couple paths:
Add a removeInstance() method to your singleton(s) that will clear you
singleton upon removing your application.
Use the MultiCore version of PureMVC which is a 'multiton'. Then you
can create a new 'core' and remove the old one if it exists.
Essentially this is the same as above, but encapsulated as a design
pattern. This is a very clean way to make sure everything is correctly
dereferenced, but you are probably too far into the project to think
about applying a framework.

Of course this makes complete sense, but now I need to rethink how my AS2
singletons are structured.

Yes it should persist.
When you load a movie, its classes get loaded into memory and they stay in
memory regardless if you offload the movie. AS3 has some additional
processes that do allow classes to eventually offload for *some* loaded
movies that are loaded into their own application domains.
When you load another movie, if it has a class with the same name and same
package, then that class is ignored, it doesn't replace the existing one.
Basically think of it as once loaded, always loaded, once loaded, never
replaced. First version in is the version for the rest of the session.
Hope that helps.

var persisting when movie unloaded
I load in a movie into a container movie. The loaded-movie uses _lockRoot
= true. A singleton instance of a class is created and set as a static
variable of the class.
The movie is then unloaded and another instance of the movie is loaded
into the same container.
Should static members in classes be preserved or not? What I'm finding is
that my singleton is persisting. This is not what I expected.
Thanks!
