You can look for memory leaks in a Flash CS3 SWF using FlexBuilder profiler to profile an external application. You should definitely make sure there aren't any other apparent leaks

Why some Flash CS3 swf can be unloaded in Flex and why some can't ? I think that is a Flash Player Bug and has been fixed in the upcoming Flash Player Release. I remb watching a Video on theflashblog.com and one of the Flash Player Developers talked about that as having been fixed in Astro. ----- Original Message ----- From: helihobby<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 7:25 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: PLEASE Help. Why some Flash CS3 swf can be unloaded in Flex and why some can't ? Just wanted to add the Unload button x= is very high so change to x=0 so you can see it ... Also, when you click unload it WILL seem that the swf unloaded but if you turn on your speakers you will still hear the sound playing AND if you check memory you will see that the swf never released.
