Usage
-- Lingo syntax
memberObjRef .linked
// JavaScript syntax
memberObjRef .linked;
Description
Member property; controls whether a script, Flash movie, or animated GIF file is stored in an
external file (
TRUE
, default), or inside the Director cast library (
FALSE
). Read/write for script,
Flash, and animated GIF members, read-only for all other member types.
When the data is stored externally in a linked file, the cast member’s
pathName
property must
point to the location where the movie file can be found.
Example
This statement converts Flash cast member “homeBodies” from a linked member to an internally
stored member.
-- Lingo syntax
member("homeBodies").linked = 0
// JavaScript syntax
member("homeBodies").linked = 0;

Usage
-- Lingo syntax
memberObjRef .loaded
// JavaScript syntax
memberObjRef .loaded;
Description
Member property; specifies whether a specified cast member is loaded into memory (
TRUE
) or not
(
FALSE
). Read-only.
Different cast member types have slightly different behaviors for loading:
•
Shape and script cast members are always loaded into memory.
•
Movie cast members are never unloaded.
•
Digital video cast members can be preloaded and unloaded independent of whether they are
being used. (A digital video cast member plays faster from memory than from disk.)
