Managing casts
When casts are grouped with other casts, they appear as tabs in the Cast panel group, as shown.
To save the configuration of your Cast panel tabs, you must save the panel layout before closing your file. When you
open the file again, restore the tab configuration by opening the panel layout you created.
Managing casts in older Director movies
When you open a multicast movie created in a previous version of Director, only the first cast appears in the Cast
