### pathName

Syntax: | `the pathName of member` `whichFlashMember`
Type: | Cast member property
Description: | This property controls the location of an external file where the assets of a Flash movie cast member are stored. You can link a Flash movie to any pathname on a local drive or a network drive, or to a URL.
| The `pathName of member` property can be tested and set. This property is valid only when the `linked` property of the cast member is set to `TRUE`.
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
