Cast members and sprites Cast members are a movie's basic element. Cast members include bitmap images, text, sounds, buttons, digital videos, and more. You create most cast members by importing media such as bitmaps, sounds, and digital videos created in other programs. Cast members are organized into casts. Make as many as you need to organize the media in a movie.
Sprites are objects representing when, where and how cast members appear in the movie.
By creating multiple sprites, you can make a single cast member appear in different places and times in a movie. Create a sprite by dragging a cast member to the Stage or Score. Use sprites in Director's two main work areas, the Stage and the Score, to change where and how cast members appear in the movie. Creating a Director movie is largely a process of defining where sprites appear on Stage, when they appear in the movie, how they behave, and what their properties are. The Stage and Score are where they assemble a movie.
