Using lingo in Director 8, it seems that whenever I attempt to modify the
contents of a text member, the operation is extremely slow. For example,
issuing the following statement:
member("myTextMember").text = newString
when newString starts getting large (on the order of 1 or 2 k), can take
almost a full second to execute on a low end machine (ie. Pentium 166,
32MB). I have also tried modifying a small portion of the text:
member("myTextMember).char[1..80] = newString
and if the size of myTextMember is rather large, the performance is just as
bad.
I'm not dealing with anti-aliased text here, and even so, it would appear
that the time is being spent executing the member text assignment and not
rendering the text on the display. Anyone have any ideas how to maniplulate
text members in Director more efficiently?
Thanks.
