Garbage collector clears from memory any objects that your application no longer references, but in difference from other programming languages, in the ActionScript is not available opportunities to call garbage collector from code - this process is executed automatically every minute or whenever memory usage of your application increases by 20% or more … practically it not so good as macromedia promise.

Ciao Marco,

I wish the FL would have an API to free up the memory. This is an issue especially if you are loading images and audio.
