Cameras are stored in the camera palette of the cast member. Use the newCamera and
deleteCamera commands to create and delete cameras in a 3D cast member.

referred to by

sprite(whichSprite).camera(1). Use the addCamera and deleteCamera commands to build
the list of cameras in a 3D sprite.
For a complete list of camera properties and commands, see the Using Director topics in the
Director Help Panel.
