Description
The legacy setProperty() function assigns value to one of movieClip’s built-in Flash 4 prop-
erties. It cannot be used to set the value of custom (i.e., user-defined) properties or
properties added to MovieClip in Flash 5 or later. In Flash 4, setProperty() was the only
means to assign movie clip property values; as of Flash 5, the dot and
[] operators are the
preferred means of setting both built-in and custom movie clip properties.
Example
// Flash 4 syntax: Rotate the main movie by 45 degrees:
setProperty("_root", _rotation, 45);
// Flash 5 and later syntax: Also rotates the main movie by 45 degrees:
_root._rotation = 45;
