Hi Michael, Good to know you're alive and kicking in Director-land!
I'm grappling with some of the same issues right now -- preloading lots of stuff into memory, etc. I wish I could tell you conclusively what happens if you load a "dangerous" amount into RAM. We're finding that if Director can't do certain things, that it just doesn't do them. For example, when we have a lot loaded into memory, some sounds that we tell it play just don't play, etc. No crashes of any type have been seen here yet. You may want to try calling preloadMember on a sound member before playing it and then unloadMember for that member when you're done with it. Hopefully the delay between sounds won't be unacceptable.
