Setting palette cast member properties

When you create a color palette in the Color Palettes window or import a bitmap with its own palette, the palette appears in a cast as an ordinary cast member. Use cast member properties to name the palette and to specify how it is unloaded from memory.

To view or change color palette cast member properties:

1 | Select a color palette cast member.
2 | To display the Property Inspector, choose Modify > Cast Member > Properties or choose Window > Properties > Inspector.
3 | If necessary, click the Member tab and display the Graphical mode.
| The following noneditable settings are displayed:
| The cast member size in kilobytes
| The cast member creation and edit dates
| The name of the last person who modified the cast member
4 | To view or edit the cast member name, use the Name field.
5 | To add comments about the cast member, use the Comments field.
6 | To specify how Director removes the cast member from memory if memory is low, choose one of the following options from the Unload pop-up menu:
| 3—Normal sets the selected cast members to be removed from memory after any priority 2 cast members have been removed.
| 2—Next sets the selected cast members to be among the first removed from memory.
| 1—Last sets the selected cast members to be the last removed from memory.
| 0—Never sets the selected cast members to be retained in memory; these cast members are never unloaded.
7 | To modify the colors in the palette, click Edit.
