All cast members (sound ect) are linked external cast members. We had some crazy repeat loops for animation running but weeded them out substantially as well as some transparency loops with animation. Is there a way i can see what is retained when i am quitting the director file? I figured that would at least clue me in a bit. It is running pretty lean right now but that small leak is worrisome. thanks --carol
