Sample entry for objects and components

The following sample dictionary entry explains the conventions used for built-in ActionScript objects and components. Objects and components are listed alphabetically with all other elements in the dictionary. The Flash components are listed as FCheckBox, FComboBox, and so on.

Entry title

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

Method and property summary tables

Each object and component entry contains a table listing all of the associated methods. If the object or component 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 or component entry.

Constructor

If an object or component requires you to use a constructor to access its methods and properties, the constructor is described in each object or component 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 or component are listed alphabetically after the object or component entry.
