Trying to loop File properties, but loop does not iterate

```php

var f:File = new File("some/path");

trace(f.name);// Shows name, File instance is OK

// Try to list properties            
for ( var s:String in f ) {  
    trace(s);
}
// But nothing happens

```

Why is this? Works for everything else I have tried…
