Actionscript 2.0 :: Singleton's 2d Array And XML Never Gets Cleared From Memory

I have created a Network class singleton to represent our xml calls. The purpose of the class is to load in various xml calls and then load into a 2 dimensional array.The 2 main variables that I want to release are "mChannels" and "epgXML". When I call the function term(), the memory never gets released. I am initializing this Network class once (mNetwork = Network.init(), and then referencing the singleton through the getInstance function. I call the term() function but the memory never goes down. What am I doing wrong with garbage collection?[code]
