member
Syntax
member(whichCastmember).texture(whichTexture).member
member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shader.texture.member
member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList\
[shaderListIndex].textureList[textureListIndex].member
Description
3D texture property; if the texture’s type is #fromCastMember, this property indicates the cast
member that is used as the source for a texture.
This property can be tested and set.
If the texture’s type is
#importedFromFile, this property value is void and cannot be set. If the
texture’s type is
#fromImageObject, this property value is void, but it can be set.
Example
This Lingo adds a new texture. The second statement shows that the cast member used to create
the texture named gbTexture was member 16 of cast 1.
member("scene").newTexture("gbTexture", #fromCastmember, \
member(16, 1))
put member("scene").texture("gbTexture").member
-- (member 16 of castLib 1)
member (keyword)
Syntax
member whichCastMember
member whichCastMember of castLib whichCast
member(whichCastMember, whichCastLib)
Description
Keyword; indicates that the object specified by whichCastMember is a cast member. If
whichCastMember is a string, it is used as the cast member name. If whichCastMember is an
integer, it is used as the cast member number.
When playing back a movie as an applet, refer to cast members by number rather than by name to
improve the applet’s performance.
The
member keyword is a specific reference to both a castLib and a member within it if used alone:
put sprite(12).member
-- (member 3 of castLib 2)
This property differs from the memberNum property of a sprite, which is always an integer
designating position in a castLib but does not specify the castLib:
put sprite(12).memberNum
-- 3
The number of a member is also an absolute reference to a particular member in a
particular castLib:
put sprite(12).member.number
-- 131075
