How to export multiple cast members at once?

Question

Hi
i have found a cdrom of family pics and after a day i managed to extract the .cst files, i used GIMP as an external editor to get the photos BUT i only done it one image at the time.
I have probably around 400 images and its gonna take me forever ^^
Is there a way to extract more than just one by one?
thanks

Create a new Director file and paste the following handler into a movie script (Ctrl + Shift + U) and save the file somewhere:
on mExportImages castLibIndex
  nMems = castLib(castLibIndex).member.count
  ix = xtra("ImgXtra").new()
  mPath = _movie.path
  repeat with ii = 1 to nMems
    tMem = member(ii, castLibIndex)
    if tMem.type = #bitmap then
      tName = tMem.name
      if ( tName = EMPTY ) then tName = string(ii)
      PUT ix.ix_saveImage([#image: tMem.image, #filename: mPath & tName & ".png", #format: 13])
    end if
  end repeat
end
Download Valentin Schmidt's free Image Xtra and install the xtra ("ImgXtra.x32") and "FreeImage.dll" into Director's Xtras folder ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Director 12\Configuration\Xtras\Scripting" or your equivalent)
Link your CST (or CXT/CCT) cast file/s to your movie with the "Link…" button on the dialog presented when you hit Ctrl + Shift + C
Open the message window (Ctrl + M) and type mExportImages(2) and hit ENTER. All the images in the second cast library should be exported, as PNG files, into the same directory as you saved you movie file into
