Re: [flexcoders] SWF's not unloading

[Angus Johnson]

Thank you both for the reply. Hilary, your example has been very helpful. Correct me if I'm wrong (very likely) but even though you unload the swfContent wouldn't it still be in memory? From my very brief read up of garbage collection wouldn't it still exist unless you removed myLoader references, probably with myLoader = null, then removed it from the application with 
this.removeChild('myLoader')?I'll keep on eye on that blog for future tips.CheersAngusOn 07/07/06, Jeremy Lu <

Resource management and garbage collection is a lot different then it
used to be, here's a great post on it (from Grant Skinner's blog):

The point is, you should stop all playing sound, remove all listeners
from EventDispatcher and nullified the Display Object or loaded swfs.

I believe in the years to come, this issue will be brought up again and again :-)

            Hi,I have a canvas called parentView into which I add SWF child objects via...parentView.addChild(mySWF);mySWF.load();No problems loading. When I want to change the contents of parentView and swap out the loaded SWF I run...
parentView.removeAllChildren();// get new mySWFparentView.addChild(mySWF);mySWF.load();Now
I have noticed that the previous SWF's don't seem to unload. I have an
example that runs a sound clip and I can still hear that playing even
if I have replaced mySWF content in the parent several times. I also
noticed that flash memory usage continues to increase with each load so
something is wrong. Debug correctly shows only one child loaded. SWFLoader class does't have an unload() method. removeAllChildren() should work right?CheersAngus
