Sample entry for classes

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

Entry title

The entry title provides the name of the class. The class name is followed by general descriptive information.

Method and property summary tables

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

Constructor

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