RE: [flexcoders] Flex RAM memory use - (probably a question for the player engineers?)
Alex, Is this still an issue? I got the impression it had been addressed in swfobject 2.1.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex RAM memory use - (probably a question for the player engineers?)
That thread should have concluded that it was fixed in 2.1. Note that the SWFObject that are in Flex templates is still 2.0 though.
