not that we couldn't stop using the string table...

The movie keeps adding new unnamed instances very quickly, which fills up the string table with strings. This is where the (now slowly) increasing memory comes from; it's not a leak any more.

This is a result of AVM2 being unimplemented, and there's nothing much we can do about it (it's also possible for SWFs to use up memory deliberately if they choose).

Memory usage keeps growing with small amounts, 100kb every 15 sec or so. So I think the leaking is always there

Memory seems stable to me now.

Leaky leaky fonts in TextRecord and TextField. Should be an easy fix.
