Or with JavaScript syntax! :) Yes, all these properties are settable in
Lingo or JavaScript syntax. You can set the movie's properties using code or
using the PI's new Display Template tab. Or you can change the window's
properties with code at run-time as necessary.

> hi, tom and what do you mean by "Mask animation"?

Well, I'm the fussy sort and thought that I'd like to make a non-rectangular
MIAW using a masking bitmap member. But wait, I'm even fussier than that and
I want to animate that mask image (using imaging code for example), well, I
can now update (a.k.a. animate) the applied mask at run-time to have a
window whose shape is not only non-rectangular but that non-rectangular
shape animates over time! Shazaam!
