I have a very large project, I have Menu who calls sub-menus (childs), and the sub-menus more sub-sub-menus(more childs), they all loads from swf files, ervery time i go to a submenu I want to clear the old swf and remove it from memory.

When I start navigating it runs ok, but while i go further in the navigation gets sloppier, here is the script I’m using:

var unicoLoader=new Loader(); 
addChild(unicoLoader);
home_mc.b1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menu1) 
home_mc.b2_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menu2)  

function menu1(e:Event){ 
unicoLoader.unloadAndStop();
removeChild(unicoLoader);
unicoLoader = null;
System.gc();
if (unicoLoader == null){
var unicoLoader = new Loader;
addChild(unicoLoader);
unicoLoader.load(new URLRequest(“entorno.swf”))
}

} 
function menu2(e:Event){ 
unicoLoader.unloadAndStop();
removeChild(unicoLoader);
unicoLoader = null;
System.gc();
if (unicoLoader == null){
var unicoLoader = new Loader;
addChild(unicoLoader);
unicoLoader.load(new URLRequest(“reactiva.swf”))
}
} 

Can anyone help me, I can’t find the solution, it should work, but obvioulsly it doesn’t!!!!, I’ve been stucked from the last 5 days and y need to move on, thanks in advanced.

thanks for the info

Theres my code: (besides, I’m new on scripting so it would be nice to have a fully explanation how to do that.

stop();

import flash.system.Security;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent; 

var moogaloop:Sprite = new Sprite(); // the video player
var player_width:int=900;
var player_height:int=500;
var clip_id:int = 7520057;

function startLoad():void
{
	Security.allowDomain("bitcast.vimeo.com");
	var v_loader:Loader = new Loader();
	var v_request = new URLRequest("http://bitcast.vimeo.com/vimeo/swf/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=" + clip_id + "&server=vimeo.com" + "&width=" + player_width + "&height=" + player_height + "&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1");
	v_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
	v_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
	v_loader.load(v_request);
}

function onCompleteHandler(e:Event):void
{
	// Position the player where you want it
	moogaloop.x = 50;
	moogaloop.y = 60;
	moogaloop.addChild(e.currentTarget.content);

	// Create the mask for moogaloop
	var v_mask:Sprite = new Sprite();
	with( v_mask.graphics ) {
		beginFill(0x000000, 1);
		drawRect(moogaloop.x, moogaloop.y, player_width, player_height);
		endFill();
	}

	addChild(v_mask);
	moogaloop.mask = v_mask;

	addChild(moogaloop);
}

function onProgressHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
	var percent:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
	trace(percent);
}

startLoad();

I am currently working on my portfolio and it came in really useful! thanks again.

Thanks in advance.
