My *guess* is it does not release until you
1. close IE all together,
or
2. Pull up the same file name and it not be the exact same file,
IE:edits were made to the file. Pulled "new" from the server.
or
3. have more time go before letting the page change or window close.
(Not the best recommendation)
It eventually will catch up and it will clear, but garbage collection
as a whole is an unpredictable beast.
I have always had a problem with IE caching my SWFs and almost
fighting to let them go.
Does this same behavior happen for you in other browsers? Or just IE?
Have you looked into a Javascript DOM garbage collection?
Maybe do garbage collection on the swf, the swfObject and the DOM?
Sorry not much more help.
Best,
Karl

Hi Chris,
Do you have any listeners that look for the system? IE: system
capabilities, monitor size, mouse position, etc, or just listeners in
general.
Try removing the listeners before garbage collection and unload.

Hi list,
I'm using SWFObject 2.2 (dynamic embed) to display my Flash
content. In
IE7 on WinXP the Windows Task Manager shows that the 'iexplore'
process
isn't releasing memory after the window containing my Flash is
closed.
I've tried explicitly calling SWFObject's 'cleanupSWFs' and
'removeSWF'
methods in the 'onbeforeunload' event of my HTML page, but with no
change in the result.
Is it correct to assume that (regardless of Flash memory management
and
garbage collection issues) closing the browser window should remove
the
Flash Player from the IE DOM and release the memory it was using?
Any advice appreciated,
