Hei,

i have an applet that seems too heavy on memory needs.
In the setup() method, i load 450 pictures (less than 10Ko each) dispatched in 16 arrays. These pictures are displayed sequentially; Basically, pictures from the three first arrays during 30 first seconds, next 30 seconds display pictures from a second group of three array, and so on.

I would like to know if i can 'clear' the arrays from memory after they have been used, as their content is not needed anymore?

This would, i hope, prevent my applet to hang on an OutOfMemory error after some time running.

oh, thanks ^^
i redifined the size of useless arrays like this:
 myArray = new PImage[0];
and it worked perfectly. Plus, i also had to divide the loading of pictures along the time instead of loading everything in the setup() method.

One thing i was missing is that a jpeg file, once loaded in memory, takes the size of a full uncompressed pixel matrix.

My problem is solved now, and the applet working perfectly.

thank you!
