Ah crap. To add on to this, this seems to be a bug that was only fixed with the Flash 10 player: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14379 - I have to target Flash 9. Is this really still an outstanding bug with Flex 3 and Flash 9? That really bites.

I am adding these .swfs (loaded with SWFLoader) onto a Canvas in my Flex application. The instance of my SWFLoader is _swfLoader which I add as a child to the _demoCanvas Canvas. Here is what I have tried (my lame attempt at garbage collection): private function hideScreenAnimation():void { _swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded); _swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, onSwfUnload); _swfLoader = null; removeChild(_demoCanvas); _demoCanvas = null; SoundMixer.stopAll(); } I can't seem to locate any unload() method for SWFLoader instances or SWFLoader.content. SoundMixer.stopAll() seems to have no effect. Again, these are both AVM1 and AVM2 .swfs which contain sounds. I don't have any control over the AVM1 files, they are produced by someone else using another app (Captivate and Camtasia). The AVM2 .swf is just a simple .swf I made with Flash CS3 and contains a sound on the timeline. Thanks, any help is appreciated. I've researched this enough with Google and none of the suggestions I've found seem to work.
