antiAliasThreshold
Syntax
member(whichTextMember).antiAliasThreshold
Description
Text cast member property; this setting controls the point size at which automatic anti-aliasing
takes place in a text cast member. This has an effect only when the antiAlias property of the text
cast member is set to
TRUE.
The setting itself is an integer indicating the font point size at which the anti-alias takes place.
This property defaults to 14 points.

append
Syntax
list.append(value)
append list, value
Description
List command; for linear lists only, adds the specified value to the end of a linear list. This differs
from the
add command, which adds a value to a sorted list according to the list’s order.
This command returns a script error when used with a property list.
Example
This statement adds the value 2 at the end of the sorted list named bids, which contains [1, 3, 4],
even though this placement does not match the list’s sorted order:
set bids = [1, 3, 4]
bids.append(2)
The resulting value of bids is [1, 3, 4, 2].

applicationPath
Syntax
the applicationPath
Description
System property; determines the path or location of the folder containing the running copy of the
Director application during authoring, or the folder containing the projector during run time.
The property value is a string.
If you use
the applicationPath followed by & and a path to a subfolder, enclose the entire
expression in parentheses so that Lingo parses the expression as one phrase.
The Director player for Java doesn’t support this property, nor does Shockwave.
This property can be tested but not set.
