FLASH: Mac memory req...help!

[Rick O'Shea]

Firstly, thankyou to Steve & Laura for your help!


Next question:


Could a mac user please fill me in on the details of "Memory Requirements". 

I have a Flash presentation that goes for about 25 minutes and comprises of 

12 separate swf files that load and unload when required. This was all built 

on a PC and is required to be cross platform. These swf files range from 

500k to 2.2mb. I have got two Projector files, so that the presentation will 

play on both a PC and MAC. This all works fine now. I had trouble with 

getting some of the larger swf files to play an a Mac until I was advised of 

the "Memory" tab when in the Mac projector file. (Apple key + I, when the 

Mac projector file is selected.)


I changed the default settings of Min Size: 2000 and Preferred Size: 4000. 

To 2000 and 7000 respectively. Now all of the swf files play as they should 

and everything works perfectly. I just want to know what these settings are 

and what they do. Are the settings of 2000 and 7000 correct or will I 

overload some machines? Please help.


Also, as a am a Mac Newbie, crossing over from the land of Windows, can 

someone clarify...what is Virtual Memory & what does it do??


Regards,


Rick.
