ActionScript 3.0 :: Properly Destroy External Swf
Feb 1, 2010
If I load an external swf and when I no longer need that swf, what is proper way to destroy it? Do I have the loader that called the swf to do "loader.unload" and "loader.content = null", in the the external swf
I have a public method to destroy() but I'm not quite sure what to make null and remove? Do I need to set all vars to null and I'm using a lot of public static vars so I don't know if I removed external swf what happens to the static vars do they still stay in memory if I set the external swf to null?

I'm trying to make multiple dynamically created MovieClip classes move across the stage and have created an ENTER_FRAME Event Listener in each one. Usually, when I remove a MovieClip, I simply remove them from the container and splice their pointer from the array. But it appears that doing this does not remove Event Listeners or even the functions I've writted inside the class and thus each "removed" MovieClip produces errors every frame. (Even without the errors, I would still not want those things running in the background)
So my question is rather simple, what is the best way of disposing of a MovieClip class (or classes in general) and making sure that no residues are left behind?

I'm trying to create universal loader of flash games on one entertainment site. What I want is to make some kind of container (SWF A) which will load another flash to it (SWF B) (by some params).
SWF B could be anything - AS1 / AS2 or AS3 flash. SWF A is programmed with AS3. Problem is that not all SWF games, which I try to load, works fine. Some games lost their click events, some games does not load at all, some games are corrupted. When I run that games separately (not using my loader), games work just fine. Why is this happening? Why some flash games are not working properly after loading by another flash?
I'm using Loader object to handle this, without any special settings - same as on examples on AS3 Bible book...

Whats the best way to destroy a movie clip? Right now I just do (AS3):
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,enterFrame);
MovieClip(parent).removeChild(this);
But the object still exists in memory even though it is not executing script. Is there any way to completely get rid of it?

I have a question (I'm sure somebody asked it before, but I didn't find the threat. How can I delete/destroy/whatever a movieclip during a movie? I made a game, in the game there is a zombie (movieclip), and when its life (life???) reaches zero, it should be destroyed. I tried "removeMovieClip(this)" and much more, but it didn't work, but also there were no errors.

I have a BlazeDS destination and the scope is set to request. Is there a way to get BlazeDS to call destroy() when the request is complete? Is there another way to know when the request is complete?
I know I can use finalize(), but that is only called when garbage collection occurs.

I am making a game with flash as3. I create a movieclip that contains all of the games content within it. I pretty much encapsulated the game within this one movie clip. after the game is over I remove the movieclip off the screen. but yet, all the other movieclips within the main movieclip still keep playing.
I could create a deconstructor that removes all the items. but that seems like much to do. is there something easier ?I tried making the movieclip null. but all the other movieclips Timers keep going off still and causes errors to go off.

I am writing my destructor but I am not sure how to make sure that my Dictionary object is completely dismantled.
Do I just walk the keys and 'delete' the objects? If so do I need to destroy the keys? or are they already removed when the object is removed from the Dictionary?[code]...

I'm working on a AS2 website (template, exporting to Flash 8) that is 100% xml loaded Flash. So the main movie has a menu with mainmenu items ("mmitems") and submenu items ("smitems") that are generated using an xml file.When you click a menu item an external module (gallery, slideshow, etc) is loaded into a container.Now, I want to load an external module that is a YouTube video player. The loading works perfectly and the player works fine.The problem is unloading it: when I click another menu item, the YouTube player is removed from stage as it should be, but the audio keeps playing. I know I'm supposed to use the (loader name).ytplayer.destroy() code somewhere, but I've no idea where and in which script exactly to place this.
In the main movie, nothing is done on the timeline and all the script is on the first and second frame. So I have the following levels:- actionscript (frame 1 and 2, all the script))- mainmenubuttons (frame 1 and 2, no script, instance "navig" on frame 2)- submenubuttons (frame 1 and 2, no script, instance "subnavig" on frame 2)- content (frame 1 and 2, no script, instance "moduleloader" on frame 2)Then there is the YouTube videoplayer itself. All the scripting is on frame 1 o- as (frame 1, all the script)- ytplayer (frame 1, instance "ytplayer")As far as I can understand, the destroy-script destroys the instance of "ytplayer" so it breaks the connection with YouTube and stops loading the videoclips. I also understand that this has to be done before the next menu item in the main movie is clicked to load the next module. But that still doesn't tell me where to actually put that line of script.

I am stuck in improving the performance of repeater. I have repeater(recycleChildren = "true") with a custom repeating component in a pop up window. The problem is when I close the popup window it does not destroys the instances of repeater item. When I repeater the popup window profiler show the instances count as: reptur.dataProvider.lenght + the instances that were there at the time of closing the popup window.
So the memory shoots up & not release as I close & open the window.

I have a flash object that connects to the user's webcam.In Firefox, I can remove the container div of the object (using jQuery) and the camera will turn off.However, in IE8, when I remove the container div, the camera stays on but the flash object appears to be removed from the DOM.Is there a way to sever the connection between IE and the webcam so the light on the webcam will go off when the flash object is removed from the DOM?

I'm developing flash control which plays images from WebCam as video. By each request FrameProcessor.aspx returns JPEG from my WebCam. It's working fine. To avoid caching I've added random value to URL. My Flash control is working fine, but I have a problem with memory - each second Flash.exe grows up to 2-4 Mb. It takes about 1-2 minutes to fill all my memory

I'm having an issue where I am placing a timer inside of a MovieClip instance which is dynamically placed on stage. When I remove the MovieClip from the stage, the timer keeps on running. It is sometimes a bit complicated to be able to stop all the timers inside of this MovieClip so I was wondering if there was a way to either destroy the MovieClip instance and thus destroy the timers within it? or how could I go about making sure the timers stop when their parent Object is not on stage.

Do you need to have a destroy/dispose method on your Document Class? Say I have a Document Class that has the following
- mouse event listeners
- timers running and or enter_frame listeners
- class variables
Do I need to have a destroy or dispose method that:
- removes event listeners
- stops timers
- nulls class variables
Or is this only something I need in other objects (sprites, movieclips) that are added to the stage of the Document class?

I have created 4 b2Body objects in box2D (using a common function) with the same name. I want to destroy these objects later. But i dnt know how to access each one of the. Now i could access and destroy only the last created object.If the same situation of multiple copies comes when using MovieClip, i usually copies its reference to an array, and later access it by "Holder[i]". Is there a similar method in Box2D also?.Or any other idea to destroy all created b2Body objects in b2World..

I have and swf. named "headlines.swf" that uses xml and loads txt and images located on a server. And I have another swf. named "loader.swf", this is empty, and only contains an empty movieClip and emptyMc.loadMovie ("url.to.headlines.swf"), and is located on another server. So none of them is being viewed local. When viewing the "loader.swf", everything that is made in flash in headlines.swf shows, but nothing of the txt and images from the xml. I have googled, but cant figure it out.
