Still a bit of a mystery.

Properties

filters

var filters: Array

blendMode

var blendMode: String

cacheAsBitmap

var cacheAsBitmap: Boolean

opaqueBackground

var opaqueBackground

Specifies a background color for the rectangular area around the MovieClip.  The default is null (transparent background).

Usage

myClip.opaqueBackground = 0xCCCCCC);

myClip.opaqueBackground = null;

Example

See example at http://www.pasz.com- /articles- /flash8ASDoc- /files- /geom- /Rectangle-as.html#flash.geom.Rectangle.Rectangle

scrollRect

var scrollRect

transform

var transform

scale9Grid

var scale9Grid

getRect

var getRect

Still a bit of a mystery.  Seems to be a method that returns an object with xMin, xMax, yMin and yMax properties that describe the rectangular area around the MovieClip.  Like MovieClip.getBounds, except it is 1 pixel tighter around the outside of the clip.  Perhaps in the final version of F8 Player this will have different functionality.
