----------------Memory manegment----------------
You may be supprised to here that the frames are stored in fast mem and not chip mem.So how have i done this?.well aswell as the frames being stored,they are packed by a command in amos which was realy desinded to hold tempary graphics.Because of this
memory,then you should make any brushes as small as posible then that should save some mem.Because the animations are held in fast mem,you could if you had about fore megs in fast mem,make an animation of five hundred frames.Thats the limit i have set on
------RUNME DOC------
