Is it possible to get the text name of a cast member? Ie I can say:

sprite(59).member = "myCastMemberName"

Can I then extract "myCastMemberName" given a sprite channel number?


That's two questions. You can get the text name of a cast member by looking at member.name, like this:

somemember = sprite(59).member
membername = somemember.name

To find out which channel a particular member is using, you would have to run through all the sprites to see which ones (there may be more than one) have that one as a member.
