pictureP()
Syntax
pictureP(pictureValue)
Description
Function; reports whether the state of the picture member property for the specified cast
member is
TRUE (1) or FALSE (0).
Because pictureP doesn’t directly check whether a picture is associated with a cast member, you
must test for a picture by checking the cast member’s
picture member property.
Example
The first statement in this example assigns the value of the picture member property for the
cast member Shrine, which is a bitmap, to the variable
pictureValue. The second statement
checks whether Shrine is a picture by checking the value assigned to
pictureValue.
set pictureValue to the picture of member "Shrine"
put pictureP(pictureValue)
The result is 1, which is the numerical equivalent of TRUE.
