Remove image from video memory?

Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/Remove image from video memory?

If you remove all references to a certain image does it leave the video memory? (on all platforms)

Also, what happens if you try to load an image in the OnUpdate function?
Does it pause the app while it loads or does it display a white rectangle while its loading?

I'd say this is platform-dependent, and my guess would be no.

Monkey is single-threaded, so your app will freeze in OnUpdate while it loads the image.

Any workarounds known?
I have massive memory problems which are very annoying

Thanks for help!
