Hi Sugan,
Have you tried messing around with the Projector.ini file? I would try
restricting the amount of memory your projector can use and repeat the
tests.
Check out the ...
[Memory]
ExtraMemory=400
; Amount of kBytes over and above the physical memory for use by a
projector.
While you're at it turn on the message window (D8) and you can also use it
to type some lingo. ie, the loaded of member, unload, the freebytes etc.
Note: For the unload command to work the best you might want to have a
mechanism in which two members A and B alternate on the stage. That way when
you can unload A when B is showing and vice versa. Unload and unloadmember
won't work if the member is on the stage. I did this type of switching once
for an image slide show that ran on a kiosk at a tradeshow and it ran for
hours and worked fine. It just kept looping through directories of images.
BTW: I agree with Jakob and Mark too. Use the filename of member to switch
images.
HTH,
Randy
