Hmm, Loader.unload() only removes the content from the loader object. It might be a good idea to remove it from the container you are adding it to.
Make sure currentPage has no listeners to objects outside of its own scope, or objects inside of its scope listening to anything out of its scope, or objects outside of its scope referencing anything inside of its scope, and all streams closed when you unload. Always clean up timers and enterframe listeners from the swf being loaded. It is a good idea to have a deinit() like method that you call for clean up. I think you're okay if you're cleanly in general :) Here is a nice article about System.gc(), it might be helpful: http://www.craftymind.com/2008/04/09/kick-starting-the-garbage-collector-in-actionscript-3-with-air/ And if you haven't already, check this out: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2008/04/failure_to_unlo.html H On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 7:41 AM, Sander Schuurman < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi cool list! > > I'm trying do build a generic structure of pages (swf's) loaded in a main > swf, and unloading as well ofcourse. > Now I'm trying to unload a loaded swf, with the famous Garbage Collection. > But I'm not sure I'm doing it the right way.
