Usage
element.top
Description
Read-only property; top side of the element. The value of

Use
document.setSelectionBounds() or document.moveSelectionBy() to set this property.

// Select an element on the Stage and then run this script.
var sel = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0];
fl.trace("Top (before) = " + sel.top);
fl.getDocumentDOM().moveSelectionBy({x:0, y:100});
fl.trace("Top (after) = " + sel.top);
See the element.elementType example.
