hey list, got a real bugger.
i built an application that imports 30 bitmaps on the first sprites beginsprite , actually several movies that do this. sometimes it crashes my machine when i navigate between movies, other times it doesn't. i realize this is an extremely vague question, so i will try to elaborate. the piece (i have discussed on the list before) imports files from nikon cameras we have placed in the ceiling. we built software that crops the images an creates individual images from these that get sent to a directory of image folders. the director application uses fileXtra to find the appropriate images, there is a color and black and white, imports the appropriate image into the cast on runtime and either backsup or discards the initial images to another series of folders. then after the importing is complete the program animates the video. the images imported are about 2-4 mb a piece. they have to be large because they get projected up to 100x100 feet. it all seemed to be going well for the first few days, but since leaving, it has been acting buggy. we were running on a very suped up machine 1+gigs of ram, extremely fast cpu. we were initially going to have a static ip so that we could correct anything on the actual machine and test, but switzerland does not have static ips. so i am forced to test on our old piece of shit machine, which only has 128 mb of ram, and an ancient processor. i am guessing that the problem is the machine, but unfortuately it is only guesswork. I notice some odd things happen when i load a new animation, and it's equivalent images: the old animation movie the one it is leaving appears to jump back a few frames, and cast members from the new movie show up. i am using importFileInto to get the images. i am so stumped and could use some help. b also i noticed an odd thing, i had a field that tracked the freeBytes as oppoed to the freeBlock; the freeBytes would gradually decrease, until it reached the size of the freeBlock and then bounce back up again. I would post these files but because of the images, most files are 40 mb.
