picture (cast member property)

Syntax

member(whichCastMember).picture
the picture of member whichCastMember

Description

Cast member property; determines which image is associated with a bitmap, text, or PICT cast member. To update changes to a cast member's registration point or update changes to an image after relinking it using the fileName property, use the following statement:

member(whichCastMember).picture = member(whichCastMember).picture

where you replace whichCastMember with the name or number of the affected cast member.

Because changes to cast members are stored in RAM, this property is best used during authoring. Avoid setting it in projectors.

The property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement sets the variable named pictHolder to the image in the cast member named Sunset:

pictHolder = member("Sunset").picture
