There is actually a good chart up at John Cs site,
www.flashbible.com/members that shows that some properties are settable and
gettable, while others (like width and height) are *just* gettable. While
you always have to use set property to set properties you can just get
properties of MCs by referencing the name of the instance and then the name
of the property, like it was a variable: i.e. /foo/:_x

Probably really dumb question, but... :)
There's things on the GetProperty list in the Flash 4 book that aren't
available on the GetProperty menu in Flash (_width, _height, etc.) I can
access those by using Set Variable or something else that allows me to type
in what I want myself, but is there any way to cheat the Get Property
command and get width instead of using _xscale? (without setting another
variable to read it, I mean?) Can I somehow type the whole line into a text
editor and paste it in instead or something? Or am I missing something and I
should be able to get those?

Thanks!
Laura
