very high processor usage on Mac
      #598 - 09/14/05 10:31 AM

i just downloaded easy slide show creator, to try to make a presentation for a friend. even when in the background, this program uses between 60% and 70% of the processor (and makes the fan kick in)! i.e. while typing this my cpu is now used for 100% all the time.
Is there any reason for this? - could you fix this? i'm using the Mac version.

thanks
jacques

Hi,
Macromedia Director executables use any available cpu cycles. If another application needs cpu time, it will give them up. You may be able to affect this behavior though.

There is a file in the main program folder that ends in ".ini". If you edit this file, you can change a setting that may affect your problem.

change this line:
;BackgroundAnimation=1

to this:
BackgroundAnimation=0

Please let us know if that helps. Thanks--
