scriptText
Usage
-- Lingo syntax
memberObjRef.scriptText
// JavaScript syntax
memberObjRef.scriptText;
Description
Member property; indicates the content of the script, if any, assigned to a cast member.
Read/write.
The text of a script is removed when a movie is converted to a projector, protected, or compressed
for Shockwave Player. Such movies then lose their values for the
scriptText property. Therefore,
the movie’s
scriptText property values cannot be retrieved when the movie is played back by a
projector. However, Director can set new values for the scriptTex property inside the projector.
These newly assigned scripts are automatically compiled so that they execute quickly.
