Sorry didn't read your last one carefully enough. I'll definitely try
what you suggested if I don't get decent numbers with these new
approaches, thanks for the suggestion!
At 2K for each thumb I never expected there to be such a memory problem.
I actually am doing all the drawing via imaging lingo already. I never
considered pulling images on the fly from Valentina because I thought it
couldn't be faster than loading them internally, and why introduce a
possible speed hit. Now that speed hit (if there is one) might
definitely be the lesser of evils =)
I don't get what Director is doing. I even brought all 6000 2K each
thumbs into an external cast and this cast is now 220MB (after save
compact, etc)! I'm referring to the file size on disk. Am I missing a
special lingo method like cleanUpFatGarbage() ? =P I just didn't expect
these type of problems when I started =)

still, you can do the very same thing. Just load, i.e. 2 more thumbs
for right and left tolerance, so the scrolling will be smooth and do the
scrolling via imaging Lingo, so you don't actually have to move the loc
of any sprite, just update the image data of a single sprite on stage.
