Last night while I was writing a comprehensive article on the new id3tags
property for SWA members for http://www.directoru.com/, I encountered
repeated problems with Director properly returning a value after switching
the filename property in authoring mode. It would either return the same
property list as the previous file or <NULL> - neither of which is correct.
If I created a new member instead, I was able to get a consistently correct
response.
