new

Syntax: new(#flash, whichFlashMember)
Type: Command
Description: This command creates a new, blank Flash movie cast member within the current cast. After you have created the Flash movie cast member, you can set the cast member's properties, such as the linked of member and the pathname of member, to finish creating the cast member.
You can specify the cast member number using the whichFlashMember parameter. The new(#flash) form of the command creates a cast member in the first open slot within the current cast and returns the number of the newly created cast member.
Example: This startMovie script creates a new Flash cast member using the new command, sets the newly created cast member's linked property so that the cast member's assets are stored in an external file, and then sets the cast member's pathName property to the location of a Flash movie on the World Wide Web.
on startMovie
	set flashCastMember = new(#flash)
	set the linked of member flashCastMember = TRUE
	set the pathName of member flashCastMember = "http://www.someURL.com/myFlash.swf"
end
