Mac Problems: Very Often these are caused by the way the Mac handles memory allocation. At least different Macs and Mac OSes can be different but the basic Mac operating system allows memory to become fragmented and filled with "locked" barriers, then it crashes or things just don't work. The solution is to allocate all of your memory up front, when your program initializes, then use these pre-allocated blocks as your program needs them; thus minimizing requests to the OS for memory while your program is running through time. You get more memory this way because there are no locked barriers when your program initializes. >From a DynAPI point of view this means what it says. If any and all "rollovers with popout boxes" uses any objects (new or local variables probably also) then these should be global, created as soon as possible (before load or at onLoad) and not re-created as the program is running. I just thought I'd pontificate on this issue. I've suffered many days over it and I deserve to! Todd.
