Assume for a moment, you have a global array of PICTures (either
created with New Picture or OpenAsPicture)
BTW, I note your spelling "PICTure", which seems to imply an
assumption that a REALbasic Picture object is Mac PICT data. This is
not the case. A REALbasic Picture can contain a PICT, but it can
also contain JPEG, TIFF, BMP, etc. Just a small clarification.
Can you just assign Nil to the array variable to dispose of the
picture or is there a better way to do it?
Certainly, this will dispose of the Picture (assuming there are no
other references to it).
Secondly, if you wanted move a PICTure from one array subscript to
another one, it seems to me that you can't use a A(1)=A(2) sort of
thing
There's absolutely no reason you can't do this, unless you are
expecting A(1) to subsequently contain a *copy* of the object in
A(2). This is not the case -- A(1) and A(2) will now each contain a
reference to the same object.
