script
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
_movie.script[scriptNameOrNum]
// JavaScript syntax
_movie.script[scriptNameOrNum];
Description
Movie property; provides indexed or named access to the script cast members of a movie.
Read-only.
The
scriptNameOrNum argument can be either a string that specifies the name of the script cast
member or an integer that specifies the number of the script cast member.
• If scriptNameOrNum is a string, the script property provides access to the script cast member,
regardless of which cast library contains that member.
• If scriptNameOrNum is an integer, the script property provides access only to the script cast
member found within the first cast library of the referenced movie; you cannot use indexed
access to specify a cast library other than the first one.
Example
The following statement accesses a named script.
-- Lingo syntax
bugScript = _movie.script["Warrior Ant"]
// JavaScript syntax
var bugScript = _movie.script["Warrior Ant"];

end if
