# Sample entry for objects

The following sample dictionary entry explains the conventions used for built-in ActionScript objects. Objects are listed alphabetically with all other elements in the dictionary.

## Entry title

The entry title provides the name of the object. The object name is followed by a paragraph containing general descriptive information.

## Method and property summary tables

Each object entry contains a table listing all of the associated methods. If the object has properties (often constants), these elements are summarized in an additional table. All of the methods and properties listed in these tables also have their own dictionary entries, which follow the object entry.

## Constructor

If an object requires that you use a constructor to access its methods and properties, the constructor is described in each object entry. This description has all of the standard elements (syntax, description, and so on) of other dictionary entries.

## Method and property listings

The methods and properties of an object are listed alphabetically after the object entry.
