on linkCastLib dLibName,dLibPath
-- dLibName is the name of the new Castlib
-- dLibPath is the path\filename of the castLib
-- we're linking to the current .dir
anySlot = findempty(member 1)
importFileInto(member anySlot, dLibPath)
dLibNum = the number of castLibs
(CastLib dLibNum).name = dLibName
-- return the number
return dLibNum
end
This function is really useful when creating a series of .dir from a
database of storyboard data.
