Your files couldn't be compiled without a bunch of errors in your code, but it sounds like you need to make sure you clean up your swf before unloading it. SWFLoader cannot know all of what's going on in your swf in terms of NetStreams, listeners, etc. so you should consider creating a dispose() method (or whatever you want to name it) that handles cleanup chores. In your example, that dispose() method would also call dispose() on your nested VideoLoader instance so that the video stops playing/loading. So in the parent, your code might look like:

 

homeloader.rawContent.dispose();
homeloader.dispose(true);

Hey

it works in the start loader,

when i add it to the loader sequins, it seems like it kill the loader max totaly.

 

have repaired the test file so it shouldn't make any errors now when testing, and sorry for that :-S

when i add it to the loader sequins, it seems like it kill the loader max totaly.

What is the "loader sequins"?

 

Did you realize that when you dispose(true) a loader (or LoaderMax), it completely destroys it and you should never try to reuse it? It looks like your code disposes LoaderMax instances and then tries to append() loaders to them and reuse them. Don't do that

 

Can you please post a very specific question? I believe I already answered your question about the VideoLoader and the need to clean up after yourself in your swfs before you dispose() them. Right?

My crestion is how do i clean up the loaders for videos,

the videos is loaded in whit loadermax inbetted insight .swf

i have tryed to .empty(true,true) and removeChild. so the dispose(true) was just another trat

 

  // CLEAN UP queuemeny2 FOR OLDE VIDEOS

  switcher = 1;
   queuemeny1.append( new SWFLoader("SWFS/MAIN/"+event.target.name+".swf", {name:"menymainClip1",onInit:initHandler, alpha:0, container:this, y:86, autoPlay:false}));
   queuemeny1.load();
trace("første")
   }
else
{
  // CLEAN UP queuemeny1 FOR OLDE VIDEOS

switcher = 0;
queuemeny2.append( new SWFLoader("SWFS/MAIN/"+event.target.name+".swf", {name:"menymainClip2",onInit:initHandler, alpha:0, container:this, y:86, autoPlay:false}));
   queuemeny2.load();
trace("anden")

Your VideoLoader is nested inside of a subloaded swf, right? As I tried to explain, you must clean up after yourself in your sub-swfs. Since you didn't define requireWithRoot in that VideoLoader, it is impossible for the parent SWFLoader to discover that loader and clean up after it when you dispose() the parent SWFLoader. And even if it could, it is still considered a best practice to have a dispose() method in your swf where you clean up your own listeners, null object references, stop videos, etc. so that it can be properly disposed and garbage collected.

 

So like I said, you need to dispose() your VideoLoader. Do not assume that the parent SWFLoader will do it for you - it can't. So create a dispose() method yourself in your sub-swf. Inside that dispose() method, make sure you call your VideoLoader's dispose(true) method. Then you can dispose() the parent SWFLoader.

I think i understand.

i have no idea how to duit,

the button ther stop the loadet video is in the main swf and the video is in a subloaded swf.

Ok now its working

 

just for the help of other beginners her is the code

 

subloaded swf

var video:VideoLoader = new VideoLoader("SWFS/videos/1.f4v", {name:"Contactvideo", repeat:-1, autoPlay:true, container:con1, width:1024, height:428, scaleMode:"proportionalInside", requireWithRoot:this.root});

video.load();

function destroy():void
{
video.dispose(true);
} 

 

main .swf

  var con1:ContentDisplay = LoaderMax.getContent("menymainClip1");
 con1.rawContent.destroy()

 

and thank you for explaining it for me
