Hi
Can anyone share with me their suggested 'best
practices' for managing the loading of swfs associated
which have their own document classes?
All SWFs, regardless, have their own document class.
Is it recommended to NEVER unload a swf once it has been
loaded and added to the display list, but rather set its
visibility to 0?
If you don't want to use anything within the loaded swf, unload it.
if your going to go right back to it in 5 minutes then don't unload
it. The difference is all the code /animation is run again if you
unload the swf. It doesn't re-download the swf.
I tend to rely on the Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE event handler
for a lot of initializing, but have come across an issue
where it seems I have several copies of a particular
MovieClip class instantiated,
even though I unload the associated MovieClip.
in AS3, you can unload a SWF. There is no unload of MovieClips.
Removing it from the display list either will not remove it unless it
is garbage collected.
See SWFLOADER
Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE is a very early event. Event.INIT is the event
you should be waiting for when loading SWFs via SWFLOADER. Remember
SWFLOADER is a container mechanism and when it is added to stage has
no bearing on the status of loading the swf.
