Controlling cast member unloading
When Director runs low on memory, it removes cast members from memory. Use the Property inspector to specify
the priority with which a cast member is removed from memory. When a cast member is available in memory, it

cast members so that frequently used cast members remain in memory as long as possible.
These settings are the same for all types of cast members.
