I have AAS 1.1. I am not able to load a sequence of still jpegs. I get an eratic number of copies of the first image in the sequence but no other pictures in the sequencially numbered list. Any thoughts?? Thanks Clif

Any thoughts?? << what are the free RAM, free hard drive and free swap file resources available, what is the average size of a JPG file, how many "frames" are you importing, at what resolution, etc. we need some info, clif. 🙂 -dave

Dave, I have 32 megs of ram, 2.2 gigs of hard disk space with 1.6gigs free.Not sure about the swap file but I will check. the size of the files in tga are 987284 each and am rtying to load 10 files. I had no problems with the previous versions is win3.11. Clif

Dave, solved the problem. It seems that AAS wil only load a sequence of the same size files. I created a sequence targa files in Imagine 3.3 and had no trouble loading the sequence. I then tried to load a sequence of sequencially numbered jpeg files of different sizes that I re named to the sequence of numbers, The would not load correctly. I got the first frame copied various numbers of times. A different number each time. Anyway that was the problem. BTW Swap in Win95 is supposed to be dynamic and will respond to the request of the program. I did however set it to 100megs. Thanks, Clif
