[V4MD] Intermittent setMedia

Hi Ruslan,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm in Authoring, not Projector. If it's corrupted, there are no other signs.
Everything else works perfectly all the time. All #text member media can be
retrieved with getMedia(), as long as it was correctly set into the database to
begin with (those that work, always work).

OK.

I'm using BLOB so that I can retain all of the #text members' properties:
scrollType, font, fontsize, superscripts, tables, hyperlinks, colors, etc. (You
may know, Director has #text members and #field members; #text members can take
a lot more formatting and such.) This decision was made after discussions on
this list where various options were considered.

I do have a TEXT field as well in the database, just to store the text of the
member for searching. But that's no good for actually bringing up the #text
member.

When it works, it works perfectly, and very fast.
