linked

Syntax

    member(whichMember).linked
    the linked of member whichMember

Description

Cast 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 (`FALSE`). When the data is stored externally, the cast member's `pathName` property must point to the location where the movie file can be found.

This property can be tested and set for script, Flash, and GIF members. It may be tested for all member types.

Example

This converts Flash cast member "Homebodies" from a linked member to an internally stored member.

    member("homeBodies").linked = 0
