Micheal,
if pSprite.membernum pEndMember then
pSprite.membernum = pSprite.membernum + 1
unloadMember member pSprite.membernum - 1
end if
I would suggest adding the following after the unload statement:
set the purePriority of member pSprite.membernum - 1 = 2
I still think next
You might try setting the purgePriority of these members to 2 (next).
Should cause director to let go of them sooner.
