Property	Type	Access	Description
anchorPoint	AnchorPoint AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.LEFT_CENTER_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.RIGHT_CENTER_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_LEFT_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_CENTER_ANCHOR AnchorPoint.BOTTOM_RIGHT_ANCHOR	read/write	The point in the anchored object to position.
anchorSpaceAbove	Number String	read/write	The space above an above-line anchored object.
anchorXoffset	Number String	read/write	The horizontal (x) offset of the anchored object.
anchorYoffset	Number String	read/write	The vertical (y) offset of the anchored object. Corresponds to the space after property for above line positioning.
anchoredPosition	AnchorPosition AnchorPosition.INLINE_POSITION AnchorPosition.ABOVE_LINE AnchorPosition.ANCHORED	read/write	The position of the anchored object relative to the anchor.
eventListeners	EventListeners EventListener	readonly	A collection of event listeners.
events	Events Event	readonly	A collection of events.
horizontalAlignment	HorizontalAlignment HorizontalAlignment.RIGHT_ALIGN HorizontalAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN HorizontalAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN HorizontalAlignment.TEXT_ALIGN	read/write	When anchored position is above line, the position of the anchored object is relative to the text area. When anchored position is custom, the horizontal alignment of the anchored object is set by the horizontal reference point. Note: Not valid when anchored position is inline.
horizontalReferencePoint	AnchoredRelativeTo AnchoredRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE AnchoredRelativeTo.TEXT_FRAME AnchoredRelativeTo.PAGE_MARGINS AnchoredRelativeTo.PAGE_EDGE AnchoredRelativeTo.ANCHOR_LOCATION	read/write	The horizontal reference point on the page. Valid only when anchored position is custom.
isValid	Boolean	readonly	Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects.
lockPosition	Boolean	read/write	If true, prevents manual positioning of the anchored object.
parent	Button CheckBox ComboBox Document EPSText FormField GraphicLine Group ListBox MultiStateObject Oval Polygon RadioButton Rectangle SignatureField SplineItem TextBox TextFrame Application ObjectStyle	readonly	The parent of the AnchoredObjectSetting (a Application, Document, EPSText, SplineItem, Polygon, GraphicLine, Rectangle, Oval, Group, TextFrame, Button, FormField, SignatureField, TextBox, RadioButton, ListBox, ComboBox, CheckBox, MultiStateObject or ObjectStyle).
pinPosition	Boolean	read/write	If true, pins the position of the anchored object within the text frame top and bottom.
properties	Object	read/write	A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
spineRelative	Boolean	read/write	If true, the position of the anchored object is relative to the binding spine of the page or spread.
verticalAlignment	VerticalAlignment VerticalAlignment.TOP_ALIGN VerticalAlignment.BOTTOM_ALIGN VerticalAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN	read/write	The vertical alignment of the anchored object reference point with the vertical reference point on the page. Notes: Valid only when anchored position is custom.
verticalReferencePoint	VerticallyRelativeTo VerticallyRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE VerticallyRelativeTo.TEXT_FRAME VerticallyRelativeTo.PAGE_MARGINS VerticallyRelativeTo.PAGE_EDGE VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_BASELINE VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_XHEIGHT VerticallyRelativeTo.LINE_ASCENT VerticallyRelativeTo.CAPHEIGHT VerticallyRelativeTo.TOP_OF_LEADING VerticallyRelativeTo.EMBOX_TOP VerticallyRelativeTo.EMBOX_MIDDLE VerticallyRelativeTo.EMBOX_BOTTOM	read/write	The vertical reference point on the page. Valid when anchored position is custom.
