How to manage memory load in standalone substacks?

[David Burgun]

Hi,

I think you'd be better off holder the video clips in a separate file  
and loading them dynamically when you need them. Apart from anything  
else it will be hard to ship a 75+ MB Stack File!

I can give you some pointers if you need them.

All the Best
Dave
