OK, here’s the situation…I have one SWF acting as a loader to load in the rest of my SWF’s and in the loader SWF I have a ScrollPane instance on stage and when nav buttons are clicked, I load new SWF’s into the ScrollPane instance. The “home.swf” loads by default at startup. When I click on another SWF, there is a call to:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("another.swf");
ScrollPaneInstance.load(req);
which loads the new SWF and SHOULD unload the previous SWF. Notice I say “SHOULD”!
I run a trace on System.totalMemory at regular intervals and the number never decreases; in fact, it increases drastically! For example, when I click a button and load in a new SWF, it will jump 10MB, but then when I click back to “home.swf”, it will jump even higher yet!
Here’s an example trace output doing what I just described(loading “home.swf”, loading “another.swf” and then clicking back to “home.swf”):
21.640625MB
21.7578125MB
21.765625MB
21.78515625MB
21.7890625MB
26.2421875MB
26.50390625MB
32.67578125MB
34.03125MB
34.03515625MB
Your help is appreciated!
