Properties

Top  Previous  Next

A property is an item that defines something about the Object. Some properties are read only, whereas others are read/ write. The properties that an Object contains are defined according to the class it belongs to. This means that different types of Objects may have different properties.

For example, a Sprite and standard drawing Objects contain a number of properties that define the Object's size and position within the Movie.

Properties include:

·	screen Position, _x, _y

·	size, _width, _height

·	scale, _xscale, _yscale

·	rotation angle, _rotation

·	opacity, _alpha.

·	visibility, _visible

·	name, _name

A text field Object contains all of the Sprite or Scripting Object properties, but also has its own additional properties:

·

maxscroll

·

scroll

·

text

The properties that are available for each supported Object are defined in the Script Reference Dictionary.
