The Fireworks Object - MACROMEDIA FIREWORKS MX 2004-EXTENDING FIREWORKS Manual

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 (•).
