Last updated 12/8/2009 189 Chapter 4: The Fireworks Object The Fireworks object is a global object, which you can use to set or retrieve properties that relate to the current operating environment. (The App object that was used in Fireworks 3 is supported for backward compatibility, but its use is deprecated in favor of the Fireworks object.) The following table lists the properties of the Fireworks object, along with their data types and, where appropriate, acceptable values and notes. Read-only properties are marked with a bullet (•). Note: For information on how to format nonstandard data types, such as rectangle or point, see "Formatting nonstandard data types" on page 7. Refer to the Fireworks object by using fw.propertyName or fireworks.propertyName. Note that fireworks must be lowercase.
