Hi, I remember two cases. First case was someone creating a stack with tens of thousands of 4x4 px images. On a 350Ghz machine, showing and hiding one image took several seconds. On a current 2+ ghz machine it will be faster, but I expect it to still be noticeably slow. I didn't try to create a standalone, but this could have been problematic.
The other case is a stack with thousands of cards with several pictures, movies and sounds on each card. The stack as a whole was more than 1 gb big. We had all kinds of inexplicable problems with the stack, including crashes and the impossibility to create a standalone, even after moving to a faster computer with more memory. What exactly are you trying to do? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 27 jan 2012, at 00:52, Nicolas Cueto wrote: > Hello, > > My 1-card stack has hundreds of small jpgs (about 4kb each), with > hundreds more jpgs to be added in the near future.
