yeah, it's a pain. when you have an individual cast member selected, you can use command/ctrl- h to see if it's used anywhere in the score. you could go through bitmaps that you know to be duplicates, check them one at a time for usage, and delete. kinda time consuming. or you could duplicate the whole movie, delete everything that's unused as buzz and I described earlier, and when you run into a cast member not found script error, or a sprite that's missing, you can go to the original and grab that member. also kinda time consuming.
remember that it's bitmaps and sounds that take up the most room. text and field members are small and may not be worth the search-and-destroy time. by the way, you're not working with one of MY old movies, are you? :-) --bhakti Genevieve Young wrote: > > Thanks, Bhakti and Buzz.
