Helping find and isolate bugs is always appreciated, but in the end I also realize you folks have to deliver to your clients so it's not always a luxury I can expect. Therefore I often will also try to point to a way around the bug so as to get you up and running, like this one. ;) I hesitate to say it's always going to be more efficient than a MIAW, but it's definitely something to consider for imaging needs like yours. It is more efficient in terms of not opening other windows or involving inter-window communication code, but in the end it's just another way to do something and that enables you to sort out what's best in any given project. > DAMN, there you hit the nale on the head! > > in the pinch script i have a handler called update, > that i call from the idle event in the main moviescript: > > on update me > src = _global.player.image > ... > end > > src here becomes a reference to the image-object of the > MIAW's stage, and this was the cause of the problem i think. > > althoug i do dispose the pinch-object (which holds 'src' as a > property) on stopMovie, appearantly some reference to the > MIAW's stage-image still exists... > > now i particularly 'void' src when i call the above > _global.pinch.destroy() handler. > that works great. Good stuff, sounds like you've got things sorted then. > i can send you sources with old and new situation if needed. Please do (offlist, don't zip them though as Adobe's mail servers will reject them, send straight *.dir files if under 3MB or so, otherwise post and email me a link), I still think our automatic variable cleanup routines ought to catch things like this so perhaps I should get a bug logged, before doing that using your movie will help me trim down the exact bug nicely. Send 'em along if you don't mind. Cheers, Tom Higgins | Product Manager | Director & the Shockwave Player Adobe Systems Incorporated http://weblogs.macromedia.com/thiggins/ ...
