Description

Cast member property; contains the image used to preview a cast member in the Cast window. This image can be customized for any cast member.

This property can be tested and set only during authoring.

Example

This statement shows how to use a placeholder cast member to display another thumbnail on the Stage. The placeholder cast member is placed on the Stage, then the picture of that member is set to the thumbnail of member 10. This makes it possible to show a reduced image without having to scale or otherwise manipulate a graphic:

    member("Placeholder").picture = member(10).thumbnail
