Setting the window type for a MIAW

You can choose from seven styles of windows:

| Four document window styles: the standard document window, a document window with a zoom box and variable resize box, a document window with the variable resize box disabled, and a document window without a resize box
| An alert box style
| A plain box style
| A curved-border style

To specify the window type for a MIAW:

Assign a value for the `windowType` property.

Different numerical values for the `windowType` property specify different types of window styles. When you don't specify a window type, Director uses a moveable, sizable window without a zoom box and with a title bar, which is type -1. You can set the title property only for windows of type -1.

In most cases, it's best to specify window settings before you actually open the window, to avoid delays as the window redraws.

See `windowType`.
