Hi guys~ I have some question about the message saying "unload swf blah blah blah" shown in the console panel. My question is "what does it mean actually?" Does it mean that the swf has been actually garbage-collected? Or simply does it mean that it has not been garbage-collected yet somehow been unloaded?
The reason I have this sort of question is that as far as I know, when an application, which is pretty much the same thing with the swf itself roughly spkeaking, has an event listener tag, it cannot be garbage collected since an event listener added within the tag cannot be removed and there'll be always a reference holding onto the application in question. Yet, what I am seeing is that these applications with event listener tags still throw "unload swf..." messages. So I feel a little bit confused. Can event listeners added within tags be removed? Or can an application be unloaded completely,ie garbage-collected, even though it has some valid listeners? Any body please give some hints about all this.. Thanks in advance!!
