Hey guys, I really need help, and I'm sure there's a simple way to do this, I just don't know how!
I am running animations on the stage (big pictures 640 X 440 px, imported as gifs and not BMPs), and I'm running hundreds of pictures in succession. As you can imagine, after a short while the animation slows down and starts getting very jerky. This is because the program's memory is getting over-loaded. For some reason it seems that Director is saving all the previous pictures of the animation in it's memory as it runs the animation. So, can anyone please tell me how to purge the previous castmembers from the memory, so that every few seconds I can get the animation to start off fresh again?? I've already tried the "unload" command in Lingo, but it doesn't seem to help! I've also tried the "preload" command, as in: member(fromWhere).preload(toWhere) - also with no luck! - after a few seconds the animation slows down dramatically! Any ideas? Thanks so much for any help!
