Question : Advice on Gbic switches for major network installation

We have a resort that has 6 comms that hook into a central cooms unit via fiber. I need to find a 1 GB 48 port ethernet switch that can also handle 6 gbic slots for the fiber.

I guess my choice is either a dedicated fibre switch that can provide an uplink to the main ethernet switch or an ethernet switch with 6 gbic slots.

Is there any expert out there that can help me with this? I am looking into HP or 3com switches but can't seem to find what I am looking for. Anyone have any suggestions?

Answer : Advice on Gbic switches for major network installation

Audio WILL continue to play on unloaded movie clips. Believe it or not, this is actually documented in the Loader class. Check this out:

As a best practice, before you unload a child SWF file, you should explicitly close any streams in the child SWF file's objects, such as LocalConnection, NetConnection, NetStream, and Sound objects. Otherwise, audio in the child SWF file might continue to play, even though the child SWF file was unloaded. To close streams in the child SWF file, add an event listener to the child that listens for the unload event. When the parent calls Loader.unload(), the unload event is dispatched to the child. The following code shows how you might do this:

function closeAllStreams(evt:Event) {
    myNetStream.close();
    mySound.close();
    myNetConnection.close();
    myLocalConnection.close();
}

However, there's actually even more to it than that. If you are truly intending to unload the clip so that garbage collection may occur, you also need to remove any (and all) event listeners that would have a reference to the Loader or to its children (the contentLoaderInfo object, for instance). So make sure that you also mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener() for your COMPLETE and PROGRESS events as well, before running the unload() method.
