As I recall, preLoadMember() on a filmloop changed after the D7 rewrite. I believe it now only preloads the score data and not the actual members referenced by it. If you happen to know what members are used in the filmloop, you could preload those as well as the filmloop member. Prior to D7, preloading a filmloop would load _everything_, but unloading the member would only release the filmloops score data. The change in D7 was correct this inconsistancey.
