Here's my understanding, erik:
An image used as an icon can be disk or stack resident depending on
whether it is added to the stack via the "Import As Control" or "New
Referenced Control."
That is the reason I said in the original post,
"OTOH, if your design alternative is to load all the images in a stack
(as opposed to referencing external image files), putting them in an
animated gif incurs no RAM hit, just the time to decompress the
frames when the image is opened
thanks! by the way, my Yahoo reply puts my reply insertion at the head of the page and i do not see any settings to change that, so i am copying & pasting to stay with the list format.
