Extend Multilanguage Cast

[Martin Schneider]

Hi!

I have a movie with multilanguage support by copying the external cast file,
changing the members and then exchange the cast file at runtime. Works fine.

Here comes the problem: I discovered I needed to extend this cast with new
members. I cannot seem to "connect" the new sprite in both casts. When I
copy the member to the other library, on changing the cast name it doesnt
replace the sprite correctly. I tried identical member names and numbers, to
no effect.

Thanks for your assistance!

Best regards,
Martin

Took me two hours to find out (and the evening where my girlfriend is out
:-)):

You have to switch the casts to thumbnail view. Copy the members to the same
member number in the other casts, thumbnail view as well. Then Director will
associate the cast.
