Hi,  
I have 10 images in a folder. All the files are of 300KB at the maximum. Now I want to play them one after the other continuosly like a scroller. After the 10 images are played, I continue to play them again.  
Now when I see the windows task manager, I see that there is a 3MB increase in the memory for each image. So for 10 files I see an approximate increase of 30MB. After each loop, I can see the 30MB decrease again.

I want to know how flash treats an image file/video file…?I want to know how 300KB file is changing to 3MB file…?Is it the property of flash or am I doing anything wrong within the code…??

Anyone please help…!

Thanks in Advance,  
Nirmal.
