Importing 295 png images...help

2011-10-11 Thread Andrew Meit
Greetings...

I have 295 24 bit rgb color png 72 dpi at 1900 x 2200 pixels...It seems LC dies 
after the 115th image is imported.
I have tried both 4.6.4/5.0, both die. I can import roughly 100 images per 
card, but when I reference as icons for transparent btns all the images, LC 
still dies. I am stumped.
So, great graphic wizards...how can I import all these images? The goal is 
layering the images to recreate an artistic page and hiding/showing each layer 
for study how the art was made. 

Thank you.

Andrew,

Must the images be imported? Can you make it work with 295 image objects that 
each have a 'filename' property pointing to one of the images on your HD? It 
seems to me that might be less taxing to LC.

A quick calculation shows the total size for all of those is almost 5 GB (!). 
Maybe you are running out of RAM. There must be a better way than importing 
them all.

Last I remember is that LiveCode has a maximum size of 4 GB per stack.

I just hit a wall on 4 gb. Layering is the key to the presentation of a 1 to 1 
size page. Trying to avoid a split view management of the page (smaller to 
navg, larger off the side). Off to bed and try again weds
