It's unlikely to take less memory to import an image with lots of 
white around it compared to one that doesn't, because the image would 
have to be loaded before you could know what was white.

I wouldn't worry so much about what the help says, it was written 
when machines had 8 MB of RAM. Obviously though, if you import a load 
of images you will use a lot of RAM. If you need to do that, but only 
need one at a time, import them into the same cast member position, 
that way hopefully the memory from the previous image will be freed 
up.
