member you want to create (Paint, Vector Shape, Text, and so on).

cast member is added to the most recently active Cast window.

To create a cast member on the Stage:

Using the tools in the Tool palette, create content directly on the Stage. Each object you create
automatically becomes a cast member.
Note: Cast members created on the Stage are automatically placed in the Score.
Using the Cast window
In the Cast window, you can view the cast in either the default List view or the Thumbnail view.
(You can change the default so that the Cast window opens in Thumbnail view. See “Setting Cast
window preferences” on page 140.)
The Cast window lets you do the following actions:
•
Organize and display all media in a movie.
•
Move groups of cast members.
•
Launch editors for cast members.
•
Launch the Property inspector to view, add, and change comments about your cast members
and to view and modify cast member properties.
•
Group multiple casts in a tabbed view using panel groups (see “Working with Cast panel
groups” on page 132).
To view the Cast window:
•
Select Window > Cast or press 3 (Windows) or 3 (Macintosh).
If there is more than one cast in the movie, you can select which Cast window to open by
selecting Window > Cast and then selecting a cast name from the Cast submenu.
