When you place new sprites on the Stage, Director puts them into the first available channel
in the Score. Because there were no other sprites in frame 15, the Mountain sprite appeared
in channel 1. Later you will make changes to the order in which the sprites appear in the
Score channels.
Name a cast member
The mountain cast member has not yet been named. Naming cast members makes it easier to
identify the sprites in the Score.
•
In the Cast window, select the mountain cast member in cast slot 4. Click the Name text
box at the top of the Cast window and type Mountain. Press Enter (Windows) or
Return (Macintosh).
Draw using the Paint window
The animation of the sunset will also include an animated cloud. You'll create the cloud in the
Paint window, which you can use to create and edit bitmap graphic cast members.
To open the Paint window, select Window > Paint.

The Paint window opens with the Mountain cast member.
The Paint window contains tools along the left and top edges that you use to edit graphics. To
create the cloud cast member, you need to draw a cloud shape with the Pencil tool.
Click the New Cast member button in the upper left corner of the Paint window.
