Thanks guys. The feedback I get on here is always great. I was able to listen for UNLOAD on the SWFLoader. I tried a MovieClip(event.target.content).stop() but it seems that its already disappeared at this point and throws a null object reference error.
Listening on the content object didn't trigger the event handler. Would it be better to use REMOVED or REMOVED_FROM_STAGE for this? Maybe I could get some sample code? --- In [email protected], Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 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. > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh McDonald > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 4:48 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] SWFLoader unloading, whats the trick? > > 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?
