All I can say is that you aren't releasing all of the references to this material that you are trying to release from memory. So after you make this call addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content); make that = to null as well as any other time that you are referring to this content you are trying

I have 2 swfs. 1) Loader SWF: no assets are on stage nor are they loaded into other than the content swf. The code is a timer and a loader. The timer reloads the loader every 30 seconds which pulls in the content swf. And yes the "remove something from the display list at position 0." is the cont

TS, what is the content that you are loading from this external swf every 30,000 milliseconds? It is feasible that what you are loading is causing the memory of the Flash player to increase? I never saw where you ready the swf itself for garbage collection. I see that you are setting the loader

Yes I understand garbage collection(GC) and how it's "SUPPOSE" to work :) However, there still remains the fact that my browser is at say 146,000K private working set memory. Let my swf file sit there for a half hour or more and now the working set is up to 300,000K. Refresh the page that the swf i

I see. But when you refresh the page, the Flash Player instance is tore down, so the player's memory is released. When you reload a stub swf, the memory used by the player might or might not be released immediately. Most likely it won't. That's not necessarily a bug or a leak. It could be, but my p

Well I'm going to use gskinner's workaround by pulling the content swf from a subdomain. I am not looking at task manager overall sys memory but, at the privat working set from the processes tab.

Problem might be with the XML class. I've seen problems in Flash Lite 3 where the idMap property of the XML class had to be deleted to prevent a memory leak. Tracing idMap will say undefined, must use ObjectDumper to see what it's actually pointing at. It appears that it will leak only if the XM

Just out of interest - why are you recreating the Loader() and re-adding the listeners each time? It should work if you just create the Loader once, add the listeners once - then every time you call load() with a new URLRequest, you'll get new progress and complete events. Might help with your lea
