There is the Lingo 'erase' command, which will delete a castmember.
Director does not free up the space, though - it just marks it as unused and doesn't reclaim it until you do a "save as" or "save and compact". At runtime, if you need to save the state, and are saving out the cast, I think saving it under a different name will cause the space to be reclaimed. Or, you could just use the same castmember (or groups of castmembers) over and over. There used to be a leak on the Mac related to this, but I believe it is gone in Director 7+. - Tab At 05:09 PM 10/25/01 +0100, Jamie Dyer wrote: >Hi All, > >Is there a way to delete cast members when I no longer need them? > >I have a navigation system the is fairly deep and generated dynamically. >At the moment I am creating new cast members every time a room is >loaded, regardless of whether the user has already been in the room.
