Not sure if it is widely known, but when creating a windows projector with
an older director version, each instance allocates aprox. 10% of the
machine's physical memory - just run a projector, open the task manager, and
check the pf usage increase under the performance tab.
E.g., on a machine with 2gb ram, running 2 projectors will occupy 400MB!!
Though dir 11 is now released, I'd really like seeing an update for mx04,
addressing the issue - especially since it must be an easy fix (an updated
Proj.dll probably).

Hi,

Chances of getting any updates/improvements tp pre-D11 versions of Director are
pretty close to 0. It's just not worth Adobe's time. I'm not sure if the D11
proj.dll would work with D10. You could try at your own risk.

If you find D11 suffers the same memory issue, please report it in the new
community bugbase at:
http://directorbugs.creativeperspectives.com/

Adobe people are monitoring that site so they will be looking at anything posted
there.

The bug was reported and fixed for d11. And, from what I got, it was an easy
fix -just a line of code that was inherited from ancient versions.
The way I see it, dir11 is certainly a version worth upgrading to. But,
fixing a legacy bug in the previous version would show respect for existing
clients. Besides, unlike previous releases, there may be movies that can not
be updated to dir11 easily - e.g. movies that performed binary buffer
access/modifications (numtochar/chartonum). So, chances are that even dir11
owners might need to publish certain movies with mx04 for a while.

No way it would.

Thanks for the link. It may come handy.
