Usage
-- Lingo syntax
memberObjRef.move({intPosn, castLibName})
// JavaScript syntax
memberObjRef.move({intPosn, castLibName});
Description
Member method; moves a specified cast member to either the first empty location in its
containing cast, or to a specified location in a given cast.
For best results, use this method during authoring, not at runtime, because the move is typically
saved with the file. The actual location of a cast member does not affect most presentations
during playback for an end user. To switch the content of a sprite or change the display during
runtime, set the member of the sprite.
Parameters
Optional. An integer that specifies the position in the cast library
intPosn
which the member is moved.
Optional. A string that specifies the name of the cast library to which the member
castLibName
is moved.
