I am very interested in this subject. I am working on a very large -
completely dynamic flapplication right now. I have not run into issues
with memory yet, but worry that as it grows larger that I will. I am
loading and unloading literally thousands of movieClips and hundreds of
external .swfs.
I had no idea that the internal pieces of a movieClip would stay in
memory once the MC itself was unloaded. Would you be interested in
working out an extend of the MovieClip Class to take care of this?
