Hi there. I am having a problem with the Loader() class, specifically with unloading content.
Let’s say I load a external SWF containing an FLV playback component into a MovieClip instance called videoSlot
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
videoSlot.addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("video1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
If I then move to another frame without an instance of the videoSlot MovieClip, I still hear the audio from the loaded SWF, even though I cannot see it. The same holds true even if I then use unload() to remove the loaded object. Adobe’s TechNotes say that unloading will only remove the object from the display list but not from the actual flash player memory (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=6a360ede), and the only way to remove it entirely is to register an UNLOAD event listener that clears all the NetStreams.
… but in my code, I have not instantiated any NetSteams, so how can I close them? What am I missing here?? …it suddenly seems so tricky to load video - that can’t be right! All I want to do is load a SWF (containing an FLV) onto frame A and then have it gone when I go to frame B. Any sage advice?
Thanks!
