checking if a member exists

From: W. Locke Morgan on 30 Sep 2005 14:54 How do I check if a member of a certain name exists? Using lingo of course.

From: Word of Mouth Productions on 30 Sep 2005 15:27 You might want to try if member (3).type = #empty then In Director MX you could have used a member name whether it existed or not. In MX2004, the highly improved version, you'll get a syntax error if you use a member name that doesn't exist. I know I've seen a way around this but I can't quite remember it. Certainly, using the loop method is quite inefficient especially if you have multiple casts.
