The SWFLoader unloads the SWF which just de-references the SWF bytes but does not clear references to objects created by code in that SWF which might be referenced by the player or other code, including Timers, Video, Audio, player events, etc.
In FP10, there is a new unloadAndStop method that will supposedly clear this stuff out, but short of that, the child SWF should listen for an UNLOAD event and stop Audio and do other cleanup.

IIRC, any loaded SWF that's no longer referenced will be garbage collected (and fairly quickly from my experience), but streaming audio (or video) is still referenced by the player so it doesn't go anywhere. -Josh On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 9:40 AM, djepyon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Does SWFLoader unload itself when you set a new source path? Then why does timeline audio thats set to "stream" in the swf still continue to play? Can give me the skinny on properly unloading a SWFLoader?
