media

Syntax

member(whichCastMember).media
the media of member whichCastMember

Description

Cast member property; identifies the specified cast member as a set of numbers. Because setting the media member property can use large amounts of memory, this property is best used during authoring only.

You can use the media member property to copy the content of one cast member into another cast member by setting the second cast member's media value to the media value for the first cast member.

For a film loop cast member, the media member property specifies a selection of frames and channels in the Score.

To swap media in a projector, it's more efficient to set the member sprite property.

Example

This statement copies the content of the cast member Sunrise into the cast member Dawn by setting the media member property value for Dawn to the media member property value for Sunrise:

member("Dawn").media = member("Sunrise").media
