on ShowCastProperties whichCast
	repeat with i = 1 to the number of members of castLib whichCast
		castType = member(i, whichCast).type
		if (castType = #flash) OR (castType = #vectorShape) then
			put castType&&"cast member" && i & ":" && member(i, whichCast).name
			put RETURN
			member(i ,whichCast).showProps()
		end if
	end repeat
end
