Managing Casts
When casts are grouped with other casts, they appear as tabs in the Cast panel group.
To save the configuration of your Cast panel tabs, you must save the panel layout before closing
your file. When you open the file again, restore the tab configuration by opening the panel layout
you created. For more information, select Help > Director Help and see “Saving panel sets” in the
Getting Started topics.
Managing casts in older Director movies
When you open a multicast movie created in a previous version of Director, only the first cast
appears in the Cast window. You can display the remaining casts as tabs in a panel group, or in a
new Cast window.

•
In the Cast window, click the Cast button and select the cast from the pop-up menu.
To open a cast in a new window:
•
Alt+click (Windows) or click (Macintosh) the Cast button and select a cast from the
pop-up menu.
A dialog box reminds you to save your panel layout if you want to restore the configuration of
your Cast windows the next time you open your file.
