Hi,
I am experiencing the issue that Grant talks about in the article above. I am working on a flash site that loads several swfs into a movie clip on the main timeline, but if a swf containing audio loads in, starts playing, and the user clicks on a different section of the website, a new swf will load in but the audio from the previous swf will continue to play until the audio track has finished. Grant says this is a big problem in Flash Player 9 and AS3.0. I am wondering if anyone here has found any way to get around this issue. Obviously I would like the audio to stop and the swf that contains it to be completely unloaded and removed from memory if a new swf is loaded in it's place before the audio has finished. I am all ears if anyone has found a way to solve this problem. I am really hoping I don't have to rewrite the whole site in AS2.0 just to get around this issue.

Thanks so much for any insight,
Brian
