pathStrength

915

Setting the path of an unlinked cast member converts it to a linked cast member.

This property can be tested and set. The

pathName

property of an unlinked member is an

empty string.

This property is the same as the

fileName

property for other member types, and you can use

fileName

instead of

pathName

Example

The following

startMovie

script creates a new Flash cast member using the

new

command, sets

the newly created cast member’s

linked

property so that the cast member’s assets are stored in an

external file, and then sets the cast member’s

pathName

property to the location of a Flash movie

on the World Wide Web:

on startMovie

member(new(#flash)).pathName = \

"http://www.someURL.com/myFlash.swf"
end
