I’m wanting to use Director to put together an app of 100 images that stay on the screen for 8-10 seconds and then fade to the next graphic. If I have music playing in the background, will I encounter memory usage problems? I’ve already posted this to the Director and general use forums with no luck. I have no problems just creating a QT movie instead of using multiple images if that will help.
As always, TIA!

How big are the image and music files that you plan to use? [import]uid: 67839 topic_id: 15213 reply_id: 56232[/import]
90 megs or better for 100 images and about 30 megs for the audio. A h.264 would be smaller. I just don’t know if the iPad 2 and iPhone 4 can handle the mov file easier or 100 png files plus audio plus Director, plus… easier. I suspect the movie file will be kinder.but my use of Corona is limited. I only have 2 apps in the store right now.

Well you definately can’t have all of this loaded into memory at the same time.
You can implement this in a way that you load the image and music for a page when you turn to the page. Because of the size of your files, you might see a noticeable delay on page turning. I think this would be easy to setup in director with each page being a new scene. You could just set up a few pages and see what the performance is like.
You could also implement this so that when your on page N, you also have page N+1 and N-1 loaded in memory.

At my skill level (or lack thereof) I think I will just try a movie. If I do, is there a consensus on regarding the largest movie file size that an iOS device can handle without flirting with disaster? [import]uid: 39859 topic_id: 15213 reply_id: 56346[/import]
