Thanks again jesterXL... Added just a few lines...can't believe i didn't think of this earlier...it was definitly a "light bulb" moment...cleans up local connection...so it can be used by next loaded swf. Had to make changes to swf's and just wasn't thinking about them. added - to main flex app every time swfLoader changes it's source... lc.send ("_swfConnect", "killAll"); added - to the main.swf's called functions.... lc.killAll = function () { lc.close() } okay...what's next...;o) --- In [email protected], "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Geez, definately sounds like the GC then, that's harsh.
