The memory hit is happening because QuickTime is loading the track
structure of the QuickTime movie (formerly known as the resource fork
data). When you set the filename property this occurs.
As far as your memory analysis goes generally, unless you force Director to
consume the memory space used by decompressed QuickTime track data, it will
appear to be continuously in use. Don't sweat it - most memory analysis
tools are pretty worthless anyway since they have no way to know *how* an
application is using the memory it has allocated.
