Seems you can set a max lifetime for your garbage collection in your
php.ini file. (Depending on your server I am guessing)
Don't know if you have investigated that option, but if you

Uhm, that's not even remotely relevant. That is the cleanup  
threshold for abandoned sessions on the server. It has nothing to  
do with client side memory allocations.

Hi Chris,
Do you have any listeners that look for the system? IE: system  
capabilities, monitor size, mouse position, etc, or just listeners in  
general.

Try removing the listeners before garbage collection and unload.

HTH,
Karl

Hi list,

I'm using SWFObject 2.2 (dynamic embed) to display my Flash  
content. In
IE7 on WinXP the Windows Task Manager shows that the 'iexplore'  
process

isn't releasing memory after the window containing my Flash is closed.

I've tried explicitly calling SWFObject's 'cleanupSWFs' and  
'removeSWF'

methods in the 'onbeforeunload' event of my HTML page, but with no
change in the result.

Is it correct to assume that (regardless of Flash memory management  
and
garbage collection issues) closing the browser window should remove  
the

Flash Player from the IE DOM and release the memory it was using?

Any advice appreciated,
