I knew that you knew that I knew that you knew that I knew. You know.

OK, so much for that plan. I guess the next idea would be to either
rewind the movie to its beginning or make it jump to the end before
leaving the frame.

I knew that too. ;)
That Director keeps such stuff stored for a while sort of helps
explain what happened to me with Dir7 on WinNT -- when I had DV files
(actually an AVI) playing as a MIAW, if the window closed while the
DV was playing I got a crash every time. Pausing or stopping playback
*before* closing the window prevented it. I guess it might be a
related issue we're seeing here with memory in general.
I wonder if it might not hurt to wishlist a keyword that does for DV
what clearCache does for net stuff or unloadMember does for cast
files.
