That's the way I do it... The only catch with that is that it won't copy cast members not used in the score (eg button rollover states, field members used to store data, etc)
You may have to select those cast members manually in the original file and repeat the process, except that you will paste into the cast window. If you've referenced your members by name, this should be no problem, but if you are using there cast location (like the button's memberNum + 1 for a rollover), you will have some editing to do if they are not in the same location Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Madeline Booth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 12:28 PM Subject: Re: <lingo-l> Scores & cast members > To Sean, Kerry & Tab > > > Thank you! > > It is possible to do it. > > > The way to do is to select all the sprites in the score, right mouse click, > copy sprites.
