Re: [Swftools-common] Problems with memory consumption

[Mikke Helenius]

I posted a message to this mailing list on last week but got no answers or 
suggestions... I'm just checking that my mail came through and that's not 
the reason for the silence. Otherwise this mailing list seems to be very 
active and helpful!

If this mailing list is wrong forum to my question, could anyone please 
point me to somewhere else where I might get help. Thanks!

Regards,
