I am playing a FLV file with NetConnection & NetStream. Works great except each time I play the video, I lose about 8MB of RAM. I found numerous references to this, but haven’t found a solution. I close the stream, close the connection, remove the child the vid is playing in, etc…

This is for a kiosk’s attract loop, where the video can play once a minute if left unattended… that’s a lot of RAM gone in an hour.

Anyone have a solution?
