paletteRef

Syntax

    member(whichCastMember). paletteRef
    the paletteRef

Description

Bitmap cast member property; determines the palette associated with a bitmap cast member. Built-in Director palettes are indicated by symbols (`#systemMac`, `#rainbow`, and so on). Palettes that are cast members are treated as cast member references. This behavior differs from that of the`palette` member property, which returns a positive number for cast palettes and negative numbers for built-in Director palettes.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement assigns the Macintosh system palette to the bitmap cast member Shell:

    member("Shell").paletteRef = #systemMac
