    Description

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Export a release build of the SubApplication project attached
      2. Copy the output SWF into the src directory of AIRSWFLoader
      3. Export a release build of AIRSWFLoader
      4. Launch AIRSWFLoader
      The application will cycle through loading and unloading the SubApplication.swf until you quit, it will also create a log file in the app-storage directory with the format log_mp_[value of loadForCompatibility]_[remote|local].txt . Where remote | local is if you are loading a remote SWF or some deliver in app:/ .
      5. Observe the log file ( attached log_mp_false_local.txt ) the memory usage, reported with System.totalMemory, levels out around 20mb, this is "expected".

      6. Launch AIRSWFLoader from the command line: "AIRSWFloader true"
      7. Observe the log file ( attached as log_mp_true_local.txt) the memory does not stabilize and continues to grow

      8. Deploy SubApplication.swf to some "remote" http host.
      9. Launch AIRSWFloader from the commane line: "AIRSWFLoader false http://[yourserver]/SubApplication.swf 10000
      ( the two new params are where to load the swf from and a new timer value for loading and unloading, for more info check the txt file in the AIR app)
      10. Observe the log file ( attached as log_mp_false_remote.txt ) the memory does not stabilize and continues to grow

      11. Launch AIRSWFloader from the commane line: "AIRSWFLoader true http://[yourserver]/SubApplication.swf 10000
      12. Observe the log file ( attached as log_mp_true_remote.txt ) the memory does not stabilize and continues to grow

      Actual Results:
      Step 7, 10 and 12.

      Expected Results:
      The output in each log file should hit some plateau similar to the output in step 5

      Workaround (if any):
      None, or totally change your loading strategy which is impractical.
