Window

Represents a window in which a movie is playing, including the Stage window and any other movies in a window (MIAWs) that are in use.

You can create a reference to a Window object by using the top level window() function, the Player object's window property, or the Player object's windowList property.

• Use the top level window() method.

  -- Lingo syntax
  objWindow = window("Sun")
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  var objWindow = window("Sun");
  

• Use the Player object's window property.

  -- Lingo syntax
  objWindow = _player.window["Sun"]
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  var objWindow = _player.window["Sun"];
  

• Use the Player object's windowList property.

  -- Lingo syntax
  objWindow = _player.windowList[1]
  
  // JavaScript syntax
  var objWindow = _player.windowList[1];
  

Note: When creating a named reference to a window by using either the top level window() function or the Player object's window property, a reference to that window is created only if a window by that name exists. If a window by that name does not exist, the reference contains VOID (Lingo) or null (JavaScript syntax).

The movie object property scriptExecutionStyle is set to a value of 10 by default, and windowType is deprecated by default in favor of the appearanceOptions and titlebarOptions property lists. If scriptExecutionStyle is set to a value of 9, windowType is fully functional.
