Who has enough knowledge about the function to do it? I *think* it should restore the state of the character in which it was after creation (or after it has been placed on a display list). This would make sense for the button instance which holds a list of character instances. These character instances are kept permanently in memory, even if the character is not visible on stage (for example, becomes visible on mouseover). Upon mouseover the character becomes part of the stage and is restart()ed to act as if it were just created. This is how the button instance seems to work. However, this is just my assumption and I can't document that function before someone else confirms it. s> If it is only for the GUI we're likely not sufficiently cleaning up. s> If it's for the buttons, we're cleaning too much.

Does the restart command of the GUI call "restart()" ? Udo _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
