    3--Normal sets the selected cast members to be removed from memory after any priority 2 cast members have been removed.

    2--Next sets the selected cast members to be among the first removed from memory.

    0--Never sets the selected cast members to be retained in memory; these cast members are never unloaded.

  7. If you are using an Xtra transition, click Options to set values that are specific to the Xtra transition. The developer of the Xtra determines the contents of the Options dialog box. See the documentation supplied with the Xtra.
