Thanks for the info. Still reading it but, fme, it seems silly there's not an ExitRestart() method or something.

I had a swf that loaded an xml file then loaded images from the xml file and then killed the display list, xml, images etc... then restarted based on a timer. Every time it reloads however, I watch firefox take away memory consistently and when I refresh that page memory use drops back to normal. So, I said screw this, I'm going to create an empty swf and load the swf with all the magic in it and add it to the empty swf. I figured if I add the swf to the main stage and kill that one reference to the swf when I was done with it, I should have fixed my problem. Here's my code. Can someone please tell me what is going on? stop(); var mLoader:Loader = new Loader(); function startLoad() { var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("hasch_flash/currently_watched_videos.swf"); //var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("currently_watched_videos.swf"); mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler, false, 0, true); mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler, false, 0, true); mLoader.load(mRequest); } function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event) { trace("load " + loadEvent.currentTarget.content); trace("loadTarget " + loadEvent.target); addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content); } function onProgressHandler(mProgress:ProgressEvent) { var percent:Number = mProgress.bytesLoaded/mProgress.bytesTotal; trace(percent); } startLoad(); TimerExample(); // Set off timer to kill carousel and restart movie function TimerExample() { var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(30000, 0); myTimer.addEventListener("timer", timerHandler); myTimer.start(); } function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void { trace(this.removeChildAt(0)); // remove from display list mLoader = null; mLoader = new Loader(); // clear from memory startLoad(); trace("timerHandler: " + event); } Thanks for any advice.
