Description

Command; displays a list of the current property settings of a Flash movie, Vector member, or currently playing sound in the Message window. This command is useful for authoring only; it does not work in projectors or in Shockwave movies.

Example

    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
