Properties A-Z

All 766 documented Director MX 2004 properties, with page references into the official Scripting Reference.

Using this index

Every documented property of Director MX 2004, alphabetically. "Ref. p." is the page in the official Director MX 2004 Scripting Reference PDF. Entries suffixed with an object (e.g. blend (Sprite) vs blend (3D)) have distinct per-object meanings. Classic verbose syntax reads any of these as the propName of obj; global ones as the propName.
