About the memory thing: I had the problem of loaded SWFs not being fully garbage collected. So I created a framework for cleaning up on unload. It's very simple, and I've described it in this post on the AIR list: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/apollocoders/message/2766 Basically, when you get the unload event for your module/application SWF, you should: 1. Stop any running timers 2. Remove any 'enterFrame' event listeners 3. Close any open network connections 4. Remove any objects added to the stage 5. Remove any event listeners from the stage 6. Call dispose() on any BitmapData objects 7. Stop any sound that's playing and close the stream ... and so on. You get the DisposalManager to call dispose() on each of your objects on SWF unload, and the dispose() implementation is where you do the above.
