Display movie clip properties and change editable properties

The Debugger’s Properties tab shows all the property values of any movie clip on the Stage. If you change a value, you can see its effect in the SWF file while it runs. (Some movie clip properties are read-only and cannot be changed.)

Display a movie clip’s properties in the Debugger

  1. Select a movie clip from the display list.
  2. Click the Properties tab in the Debugger.

Modify a property value

 In the Debugger’s Properties tab, double-click the value, and enter a new value.

Enter a string (any value surrounded by quotation marks), a number, or a Boolean value (true or false). You cannot enter an expression (for example, x + 50), or object or array values (for example, {id: "rogue"} or [1, 2, 3]).

Note: To write the value of an expression to the Output panel in the test environment, use the trace() statement.
