Try removing any listeners associated with that swf before unloading
it. It's possible the remaining listeners are still listening. Someone
may be able to verify this more than I though.

Hello, this issue is killing me. 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. T
