Hi Diane, thanks for the reply Could I have a little clarification please? On app startup would the resources and assets be loaded into memory or only when they are used? Something like this seems to be happening to my app. Since I added the files I had on the sdcard to the assets folder the app takes much longer to load on initial startup. If this is the case I think copying the files to the sdcard on first run might be the way to go (but much more work for monday ;) )
