Re: FLASH: flash memory problems

[Sarah Lamont]

Thanks for the reply. Let me try to answer all your questions:


> What are the sizes of your base FLAs?

The two I have the most problems with are 4.5 Mbs, and 17 Mbs. I realize

that last one is quite large, I've pretty much given up trying to work

on that one for the time being.


> 

> Are you trying to do a lot with sound (AIFF to MP3?)?

No, in the 4.5 meg file, there is no sound; in the 17 meg file, there is

some, of which the total sound size equals about 5 megs.


> How many FLAs are open when you get these warnings?

I've gotten them with no other flas open.


> How may other applications do you have open at the same time?

No other apps open.


> Do these memory errors occur immediately after a Restart and relaunch of

> Flash, or do they creep up after a period of use?

They happen immediately after a restart and relaunch when working on the

specified flas.


> What is Virtual Memory set to?

It's set to 129 megs.


> Are you employing single-volume-deployment, or multiple drive/partitions

I'm not sure what you mean by this...?

I have ATM installed, it is version 4.5.2, which is compatible with Mac

OS 9.0. I have 136 font families loaded.

27.8 megs


> How much RAM is Flash using immediately after opening?

52.6 megs 


> Now how much for Finder?

28 megs 


> How much to each after you open your FLAs?

56.3 megs to Flash

28 for finder

 

> How much are both Finder and Flash using when you get an out of memory

56.3 megs to Flash,

28 for Finder,

still.

G4 Mac OS ROM 3.2.1 

Hard drive is 19.14 GBs
