Command; forces Director to clear the specified cast members from memory. Director

or normal cast loading.

• When used without an argument, unLoadMember clears from memory the cast members in all

the frames of a movie.

• When used with the arguments whichCastMember and whichCast, the unLoadMember

command clears from memory the cast member name or number that you specify.

• When used with the arguments firstCastMember and lastCastMember, the unLoadMember

command unloads all cast members in the range specified.

When used in a new movie with no loaded cast members, this command returns an error.

Cast members that you have modified during authoring or by setting

picture,

pasteClipBoadInto, and so on, cannot be unloaded.
