Adding properties to Moveclip instances

[thomasw72287590]

I see this:

With the section for Property | Value at the bottom. But I can not see a way to append my own custom properties. Am I just hoping too much or is there a way to do this?

That is only the property and value of any filters you have added. It gets filled in as you add filters to a movieclip.

At runtime you can give a movieclip a property. Like:

myMc.customValue = "whatever";

trace(myMc.customValue);

By the way, if you're thinking about a tool that others would use, where they can set properties and then your code does something with that, look at how to make a movieclip become a component:
