Using an anvil to place a thumbtack approach, you could use flash
player 10.1 and it's new 'unloadAndStop' method

Also i've also had instances where the memory profiler crashes the SWF
once it's loaded.
What I had to do was divert any loading of content, asset heavy
classes till a few seconds after the initial startup

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not just
listeners. It's references to objects in the swf you want to unload.
So say if your code creates a reference to a movieClip in that swf,
you have to clear that reference or the GC won't reclaim the memory.
I was also under the impression that any timeline animations would
continue to run unless stopped, until the GC removed them. This might
be especially problematic if said timeline animation has frame script.
I'd guess you've seen this before, but if not:
http://www.gskinner.com/talks/resource-management/ has some good info.
I know he's got other articles on his site on this topic, but my
google skills are failing me at the moment.
Hope this helps.

Hmm, I am reading 8 XML files every 30 seconds using XMLList and
XML objects. Are you saying that AS3 XML objects have a big memory
leak? Hopefully, the profiler will work tomorrow so I can try to
hunt down some issues.
If I remember correctly, I don't need to release timeline
animations/movieclips manually when removing the SWF, right? As
long I haven't attached any event handlers to it? Correct?
