When linking a cast to an external .cst file, I try to determine if it's a
good castLib file by:
castLib("MyDynamicCast").filename = "existing_file.cst"
locFailed = false
repeat with i = the number of members of castLib("MyDynamicCast") down to 1
locMem = member(i, "MyDynamicCast")
if (locMem.type = #empty) or (not locMem.name contains
MyNamingConvention) then locFailed = true
end repeat
Will any invalid members slip through the type #empty test?
Is my very first statement, locMem = member(i, "MyDynamicCast") likely to
cause a Director error under some conditions?
When a cast file is selected from Director's own "Where is..?" dialog, and
the user selects a file that is not a valid cast file, Director tells you
so. How does it know? What does it check? Can I check this before even
assigning a file to be the cast's external source (on Mac and Windows)?
Any tips will, be appreciated.
