fileName (Cast) 765

Example

This statement displays the pathname and filename of the Buttons external cast in the

Message window:

-- Lingo syntax

trace(castLib("Buttons").fileName)

// JavaScript syntax

trace(castLib("Buttons").fileName);

This statement sets the filename of the Buttons external cast to Content.cst:

-- Lingo syntax

castLib("Buttons").fileName = _movie.path & "Content.cst"

// JavaScript syntax

castLib("Buttons").fileName = _movie.path + "Content.cst";

The movie then uses the external cast file Content.cst as the Buttons cast.

These statements download an external cast from a URL to the Director application folder and

then make that file the external cast named Cast of Thousands:

-- Lingo syntax

downloadNetThing("http://wwwcbDeMille.com/Thousands.cst", \

_player.applicationPath & "Thousands.cst")

castLib("Cast of Thousands").fileName = _player.applicationPath & \

"Thousands.cst"

// JavaScript syntax

downloadNetThing("http://wwwcbDeMille.com/Thousands.cst",

_player.applicationPath + "Thousands.cst");

castLib("Cast of Thousands").fileName = _player.applicationPath +

"Thousands.cst";
