![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/5913/185baef3cbd1ba6a.gif) **upload and memory usage in flash**  
I have a movie that am loading external 27 movie clips. after a while the flash projector crushes. when i look at the the task manager flash Mem usage is 171000k.

the more i upload the more the memory keeps increasing.  
i thought when u upload a movie clips in flash they keep replacing the one before and so the memory does not keep increasing?

what am i doing wrong???

loaderScenario =new Loader();  
loaderScenario.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO\_ERROR,loadingError);  
loaderScenario.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,updateInfo);  
loaderScenario.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,doneLoad);

var tempSwfHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();  
MovieClip(Globals.data.root0).scenariosHolder.addC hild(tempSwfHolder);// Add empty MC initially so the nextClip function can be generic

function doneLoad(e:Event):void {

MovieClip(Globals.data.root0).scenariosHolder.remo veChild(tempSwfHolder);  
tempSwfHolder=MovieClip(loaderScenario.content);  
loaderScenario.unload();  
MovieClip(Globals.data.root0).scenariosHolder.addC hild(tempSwfHolder);  
}
