Hi,
I have created a one frame sideshow. There are a total of 175 images, of
which some are 800 X 600 or 500 X 600. All pictures are in JPEG format.
Director replaces the member of the sprite that's on the stage by using
"importfileinto". I have a list that stores all the filenames of the
pictures that I want you use.
I have a single button that instructs director to import the next picture
on the list.
The problem is that at any random position, director suddenly looses
2-4MB of Physical memory. At the beginning of the sideshow I have 50MB
free and at the end of the sideshow I have 4MB Physical memory free.
I have tried the following techniques :
* erasing the current member and then importing the next picture.
* creating a cast with external links to the files instead of using a list.
* multiple frame sideshow
* using the unload member and unload command
but the problem still remains.
I wrote a small procedure that checks which pictures are
loaded in memory and everything is fine!
Where did the memory go to ?
I have also checked to ensure that all my pictures are 72 DPI, as
I know the director prefers them in 72 DPI format.
I am running Director 8 on a Windows 95 (c-release), PII-400mhz system
with 128MB RAM.
Any suggestions or ideas will greatly be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sugan
