Module: underscore

The fwlib/underscore module wraps the legacy build of the lodash library and adds some Fireworks-specific methods. The lodash code has been minified in a way that works within the Fireworks JS engine, but you can change the define() call in this file to load "fwlib/lodash" if you want to load the un-minified code to help with debugging.

The Lo-Dash functions that rely on setTimeout() have been overridden to throw errors, since that function is not available within Fireworks. The library has also been patched so that _.has() uses the in operator instead of hasOwnProperty() when checking for properties on native objects, which don't correctly support hasOwnProperty().

In addition to the standard Lo-Dash methods like _.isFunction(), there are equivalent methods for all native Fireworks types, like _.isImage(), which can be useful when filtering the selection. Note that _.isGroup() will return false if the group is actually a smart shape, and _.isSmartShape() will return true in that case.

The _.createObject() method has been enhanced to take a properties parameter that will add the properties from an object passed in as the second parameter.

This module calls _.noConflict() to remove the global _ reference that Lo-Dash creates by default.
