Many elements are missing, see (+) above.
The mentioned 'fileSize of member' is non-existant,
use 'size of member' instead.




[index] _ 601 in 1/97:


freeBlock

system memory property

5.0 Dictionary Error:
"See Also" mentions: 'fontSize of field cast member property'. ;)
Should read: 'See Also: the size of member property'.





[index] _ 601 in 1/97:


freeBytes

system memory property

5.0 Dictionary Error:
"See Also" mentions: 'fontSize of field cast member property'. ;-)
...should read:
'size of member'.

New in the '501 ReadMe':
On Macintosh there is said to be some dependancy between what the 'freeBytes' property indicates and the 'Use System Temporary Memory' setting in Director's preferences or in the projector's options, but I don't quite understand it... ;)





[index] _ 601 in 1/97:


preLoadMovie

movie file preloading property

5.0 Dictionary Error:
The Dictionary: 'This command preloads the specified movie entirely into memory.'
Should read: 'preLoadMovie' will only preload the castMembers that are in the FIRST FRAME of the specified movie, plus any castLib of that movie which has a setting of 'Preload: Before Frame One' (in the 'Movie Cast' dialog box).





[index] _ 601 in 1/97:


unLoadMovie

movie unloading command

TIP: John Dowdell from Macromedia Tech Support: "The new 'unloadMovie' command is only needed if you've done background loading of the next movie and wish to change your mind. When branching from movie to movie the old movie is automatically unloaded for you ... it's better to use complete pathnames".
