Message: [QUOTE="Bart Van der Donck, post: 4923376"] I think you're looking for a functionality like SQL's FLUSH or Perl's buffer disable/clean on command. I don't believe this can be controlled on-the-fly in browsers, though there are META-instructions to control this on page-level: <META HTTP-EQUIV="cache-control" CONTENT="no-cache"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Thu, 8 May 2006 11:30:00 GMT"> (or whatever date) The whole idea is that a browser should do all this for you, so you don't have to worry about it (ideally). I would advocate the use of another computer language if you need this kind of low level memory block access. You could develop the gallery in Macromedia Flash, end let the SWF-file handle its own memory objects (I believe this would stand apart from the browser's memory allocation). I'm not sure if Flash/ActionScript could go as low as influencing RAM on-the-fly. Maybe some Flash Newsgroup could shed a light on this. [/QUOTE]
