Hi  
I am on this frame where I am drawing graph inside scrollpane.  
I am drawing each point after 1 second interval using setInterval.  
When the graph has run for more than 3 minutes and I switch to other frame using “Start New” it takes 5 or more seconds for flash to do so.  
By this time Task manager shows using more than 98% memory  
Is it because the movieclips inside the frame where graph is drawn is not destroyed? If yes, how can I do that?  
Also, can I set the scrollpane content to be empty at the press of the button?
