Cast Library

Represents a single cast library within a movie.

A movie can consist of one or more cast libraries. A cast library can consist of one or more cast members, which represent media in a movie, such as sounds, text, graphics, and other movies.

You can create a reference to a cast library by using either the top level castLib() function or the Movie object's castLib property. For example, if a movie contains a cast library named scripts, you could create a reference to this cast library by doing the following:

• Use the top level castLib() method.

  -- Lingo syntax
  libScript = castLib("scripts")
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  var libScript = castLib("scripts");
  

• Use the Movie object's castLib property.

  -- Lingo syntax
  libScript = _movie.castLib["scripts"]
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  var libScript = _movie.castLib["scripts"];
