I did test with the profiler and unless I am blind I don't see it releasing memory, however, I am not an expert with it. When I do test with the browser (IE), I see the memory go down then back up, in the long run it always goes much higher and doubles or triples from original. I am not sure at this point if I should worry about it or code it a different way. If it is the brower, then I gather there isn't much I can do... Thanks again.

The mx:Image is bound to my modelLocator, so I am not actually unloading the image per say, I am just changing the source with databinding.

Use the Profiler to see if you really have such a problem. We have seen issues with some browsers not releasing memory even though Flex has.
