Video Loader garbage collection

[Guest renwardp]

Hi Jack,

Thanks again for your gs classes, they are incredible.

I have a problem with the videoLoader. Im building an app in AIR, the main app loads different swf files for each section. I have a method to dispose the loaded swf when the swf loader loads a different file. That works without any problem, the thing is that when I load a swf that has a videoLoder in it, the file it's no completely removed for garbage collection. As Im using the flash debugger I can see when the swf file its removed.But when I use the videoLoader the swf file its not removed. It's a little confuse to me. In my dispose method I use the LoaderMax.getLoader("the file").dispose(true), and the video its removed but still the sfw that contains this video can't be unloaded. I'm using a mp4 file should I change to fly? or what can I do to solve this problem.

 

Thanks!!

Keep in mind that SWFLoader cannot possibly know what code you're running inside the subloaded swf and clean up after you, so if you're doing things like starting sounds or videos/NetStreams, adding listeners, etc., you should clean up after yourself. In your example, you should dispose(true) your VideoLoader first, then dispose(true) the parent SWFLoader. You could use the technique described here to automate things a bit:
