ActionScript | Flex | Flash bracketed directives like [SWF...] and [Frame...], what are they? documentation?

I've seen that this kind of directives like [SWF...] and [Frame...] are used to开发者_StackOverflow中文版 set things that would otherwise require using the Flash IDE, but this way you set them from within Actionscript code.

I've tried to search for them but as I don't know their name I can't find them, and of course SWF and Frame aren't good search terms.

Where are they documented?

thanks.
