Yes. The memory for a .swf file should be freed when it is no

longer in use.


The loading of 200 .swf's would be an interesting thing to

orchestrate, to say the least :-). Some browsers, such

as IE/Mac 4.x, have issues with many streams being

downloaded to the browser at once, and crash mysteriously on

the plugin, so you would have to do some serious data

marshalling.
