Missing property - windowType?

[Ronald Woodland]

Returning to a previous project -- done in Director MX -- I was 
surprised to run into a code problem in Director MX 2004.  This project 
used an MIAW for some interface and navigation controls.  When the MIAW 
is opened, it's windowType is set to a 1-bit mask  in the cast to 
create a non-rectangular window on the screen.  It worked fine in the 
previous version, but now balks at the windowType property for the 
MIAW.  What am I missing?

Surely, the ability to create non-rectangular MIAW windows has not been 
deleted from the feature set in Director.  Curiously, windowType is 
still recognized as a keywork in the script window (shows a green 
color) and passes the compile test.  The error dialog appears at 
runtime.  If windowType is not a valid property anymore, does anyone 
know how attaching a mask to a window can be implemented in DMX 2004?
