abstract property

Gets a description of the media file.

Syntax

JScript
abs = object.abstract

 

Property values

Type: String

a description of the media file.

Remarks

If the description of the media is not available, an empty string ("") is returned.

When the abstract property is used with an Advanced Stream Redirector (ASX) file, it gets the abstract of the current active entry—not the abstract of the ASX file itself.

Examples

This example uses the abstract property to retrieve the description of the media file.
