* With 9.0.2 loading and removing simple images (jpg) with garbage collector works fine.
* It doesnt matter if you remove any event listeners (Event.COMPLETE), but its always a good idea to do that.
* You dont need to unload the Loader.
* You dont need to remove the Loader (or its content) from its parent.
* It DOES MATTER which kind of SWF you load. I load a third party SWF-file into my HTML-engine and the garbage collector was not able to remove this file from the memory. I built a test SWF-file in AS3 without import protection and it works! Dont know how to check this in the future, the SecurityErrorEvent hadn’t dispatched. But maybe using the LocalConnection is a solution.
* Its RECOMMENDED to start the garbage collector manually. I call the function every 3 seconds with an interval for now.

Code for the garbage collector:

—–
import flash.net.LocalConnection;
import flash.system.System;
private function collectGarbage():void {
trace(“memory before: ” + (System.totalMemory/1024) + ” kiB”);
try {
new LocalConnection().connect(‘foo’);
new LocalConnection().connect(‘foo’);
} catch (e:*) {}
trace(“memory after: ” + (System.totalMemory/1024) + ” kiB”);
}

By the way, if find that :

http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/9/releasenotes.html

Developers should not rely on garbage collection if immediate clean up of active objects, such as display objects, streams and media, is expected. Use the appropriate ActionScript 3.0 APIs (close, removeEvent Listener, etc.) to get immediate behavior when cleaning up active objects.

Are they joking ?

btw , can you fix the url in the second update?

Thx

My flash is using more and more memory…

I removed my object from the displayList, i removed the listeners (with weakreference), i removed every link i could find. But the problem is still here
