Hi carol,
Funnily enough I just 1 min ago read the release notes for
8.5
http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/releasenotes/8/releasenotes
_85.htm#72309
and saw this
'Developers should be very careful when using circular references
within their code, such that
x = [1,2,3]
y = [4,5,6]
y[3] = x
x[3] = y
X has a reference to y, y has a reference to x, this is a circular
reference that should be cleaned up by the developer to prevent memory
from leaking. Circular references may also occur in parent-child
scripting where an ancestor has reference to its child. An example is
when the ancestor keeps a list of all the instances of all the scripts
that inherit from it, and each inherited script keeps a reference to
its parent. In this case, each instance will be leaked, and should
also be disposed of after use. Although Director will clear any memory
that it has used when quitting, it is up to the developer to do so in
cases such as this. '
Which could be your problem.

hey list --
i have a cd that was created about 2 months ago that i need to help
the
performance. The problem is that after you continously play the cd it
sucks
up your system memory. (about 4%) Could anyone give me an idea of how
to go
about looking for this? I was thinking that repeat loops might be the
culprit but after extensive removal it is still happening. I just
don't know
of a good way to logically disasemble this to see where the error is.
thanks
