    Opening a big file with Binary object

    I'm trying to open a 28 MB file with Binary Object. However, whenever I do that, the application freezes.

    I also tried using Binary Quickload, but I can't get it to work. It doesn't load any file.
    What I try is:
    -I put place a Binary Object, Binary Quickload Object and a File object in the app.
    -In the Event editor: Load File from Binary Quickload object
    it asks for File->FileSelReturn$( "File" ))
    asks for Memory Address-> I'm not sure what to do here, addr( "Binary object" )? or Fixed( "Binary object" )? Both don't work
    Starting byte -> 0
    Number of bytes to read -> -1
    Starting the app and opening a file results in nothing. (as a test I let a counter show the size of the binary, it always stays 0)

    So, what to do?

    You have to resize the Binary object to match the size of the file you're trying to load. Binary quickload won't do this for you.

    Aha, thanks, I didn't know that. However, when using the Get size function from Binary Quickload, it also asks for a string. What's with that string?

    Presumably the filename again.

    Oh, it doesn't matter. File object can get the file size too.
    Thanks for the replies, I got it working.
