I am having an issue with an app I am developing using adobe flash with Air for android support. I deployed the apk on to android device and played the files which are .swf file loaded onto my parent swf. There is a next and previous button which loads the swf files in succession. Now what happens exactly is that when I load my next file the sound from my previous file still plays in the background even though I have completely removed the swf file from stage. I have no ides why this is happening as this hapens only when i install the app on android device and play it.. During the publishing of the swf in Falsh I do not face this problem. So I am unable to figure out the reason. Can anybody guide me regarding this? Thank you

Also make sure you remove all event listeners that are on or in your loaded file before you remove it, otherwise it will be stuck in the memory forever :) – Philarmon

To be able to completely stop and unload a loaded SWF, you need to invoke unloadAndStop() method on the Loader instance, that holds the loaded content. Like:

var outerSwf:Loader = new Loader;

// Load.
outerSwf.load(new URLRequest("outer.swf"));
addChild(outerSwf);

// ...
// Unload.
removeChild(outerSwf);
outerSwf.unloadAndStop();
