symbol properties?

Is it possible to access a symbols properties via actionscript? I know you can access some a movieclip instance properties, but can you access a symbols properties?

Just wondering,

Ryan

do you mean something like:

symbol_X.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha = 0;
}

? the above will set symbol_X's alpha (transparency) to 0.
in the actions panel, click on the book in the upper right, and look for the properties "book"; you'll see all the properties you can affect with as.

hope this helps.
