Models

The models in a cast member are the actual visible objects that are seen in the 3D cast member.
Models move according to the motions you assign to them in your 3D modeling software, and
according to animation scripts that you write. Their movement results from repositioning and
reorienting their geometries in 3D space.
The following cast member methods and properties can be used to perform basic
model operations:
Method
model.count
model(name)
model[index]
newModel(name,
modelResource)
deleteModel
(name)
deleteModel
(index)
.clone
model(name1)
ame2)

Returns the number of model objects
included in the cast member.
Returns the model named
Returns the model at the designated index
position. The index number can change if
models lower in the list are deleted.
Creates a new model named

already exists. The

supplied, this second argument must be an
existing model resource object.
Deletes the model named
references to this model persist but can do
nothing. Children of the model aren't deleted
but are re-parented to the world group.
Deletes the model with the given index
number. Script references to this model
persist but can do nothing.
Creates a copy of the model named

model appear in the new model as well.
