Xtra cast members have the same Name and Unload properties as other cast members, and they also contain an extra panel of options that is accessible from the Property inspector. To set cast member properties, use the Member tab and the custom tab for the type of cast member you are working with. The Member tab contains an Edit button and might contain a More Options button, depending on the type of Xtra. Use the Edit button to edit the cast member with its default editor. Use the More Options button to display the Cast Member Properties dialog box for the current cast member.

The custom tab for the type of cast member you are working with might also contain a More Options button. This button displays the Cast Member Properties dialog box for the current cast member.

The Xtra developer determines the content of the Properties dialog box. For non-Adobe Xtra extensions, refer to the developer’s documentation that the developer supplies.

1. Select an Xtra cast member.
2. Open the Property inspector and click the Member tab.

   The Member tab displays the following information about the member:

   • The cast member name
   • The name of the cast that contains the cast member
   • The size in kilobytes
   • The creation date
   • The date the cast member was last modified
   • The name of the user who last modified the cast member
3. Use the Name field to view or edit the cast member name.
4. To specify how Director removes cast members from memory if memory is low, select options from the Unload menu. For information about these options, see Controlling cast member unloading.
5. To set special options for the current Xtra cast member, click the custom tab for the cast member you are working with. Some types of Xtra cast members also have a More Options button on this tab. Use this button to set any properties of the cast member that are not displayed on the tab.
