Marty,

There's no way I know to list all the instances (script names or some
location you could then track down). Be aware also that if you do a 'put' to
the message window to see a current count of references you'll get ONE MORE
than the count in the code because you've now referenced it in the msg
window. This still throws me occasionally, as you don't create an instance
expicitly, but apparently Director needs to make one long enough to get the
count.

Good luck,


Markie

Thanks for your in-depth, and very informative, reply, Alex!

It looks like the key (for my situation at least) is that if you
*don't* set a variable reference to a script instance, you needn't
worry about it.  It will be deleted automatically after execution.
Any references though, including in the actorlist, must *all* be set
to VOID to get the instance out of memory.

I'm curious then, can I have Director list all of the script
instances current "alive" in memory?  Whether referenced by a
variable or not?
