+           Adding a new new property to an object is similar to
+           adding a callback for a method. Instead of using a C
+           function, a string or number is used.

+
+           When this is looked up by a Flash movie as a property, the
+           value is found, instead of needing to make a function
+           call. This scrap of ActionScript code as compiled by
+           Ming's <code>makeswf</code> compiler shows the
+           difference.
