Folks:
Thanks for the info. This should reduce some frustration. I can use the object
inspector to find the kind of object the item is, then list all of its
properties so that I am clued in on what words to search for in the dictionary.
That is a big help.
Thanks

Jacque,
I’m missing something in your explanation of how to use the dictionary.
I'm not sure what part isn't clear?

Bob,
I think you are missing the point of…
1. Select the object in left-hand column.
Look at the far left column, the top most word in this column is All, go down
to the Object section and click on one object, say Field or Button then
follow point 2 in Jacque's instruction. I'm sure the

Ah. That would explain my last post. I do know that there are lots of

Sometime back, I remember a posting about how to get a list of property names
of an object. Anybody remember it?
I’m trying to use a “slider” object and have googled, etc, to no avail. The
docs don’t show “slider” and so it’s just one of those docs shortcomings that
hopefully will
Folks:

e.g. put the startValue of scrollBar “axisEntry
Still, if anybody remembers the way to get a list of properties (a script),
other than looking in the docs, I’d be interested.
Best,
