The solution, unfortunately, isn't one you can do at runtime, unless you just keep a blank template cast that you reuse.
When you "delete" a castmember, you're not really removing all the space, instead, Director keeps the space allocated and just marks it as "unused". This is to make saving faster. Presumably this was added at one point if people complained saving took too long. So, in Director, if you want to truly reclaim the space, you would use the "save and compact" command. Or, use "Save As" to make a new file. Otherwise it just marks the space as unused but doesn't really free it up. What you might also try is saving it to a DIFFERENT name, then renaming it back after deleting the original. This might have the same effect as "save as" although I haven't tried it personally. - Tab At 07:46 PM 9/25/02, brian wrote: >I am running into memory issue, perhaps someone can explain why.
