Rectangle (flash.geom.Rectangle)
Object | +-flash.geom.Rectangle public class Rectangle extends ObjectThe Rectangle class is used to create and modify Rectangle objects. A Rectangle object is an area defined by its position, as indicated by its top-left corner point (x, y), and by its width and its height. Be careful when you design these areas if a rectangle is described as having its upper-left corner at 0,0 and has a height of 10 and a width of 20, the lower-right corner is at 9,19, because the count of width and height began at 0,0. The x, y, width, and height properties of the Rectangle class are independent of each other; changing the value of one property has no effect on the others. However, the right and bottom properties are integrally related to those four if you change right, you are changing width; if you change bottom, you are changing height, and so on. And you must have the left or x property established before you set width or right property. Rectangle objects are used to support the BitmapData class filters. They are also used in the MovieClip.scrollRect property to support the ability to crop and scroll a MovieClip instance with specific width, height and scrolling offsets.

bottom (Rectangle.bottom property)public bottom : Number The sum of the y and height properties. Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8 Example The following example creates a Rectangle object and changes the value of its bottom property from 15 to 30. Notice that the value of rect.height is also changed, from 10 to 25. import flash.geom.Rectangle; var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(5, 5, 10, 10); trace(rect.height); // 10 trace(rect.bottom); // 15 rect.bottom = 30; trace(rect.height); // 25 trace(rect.bottom); // 30 See also y (Rectangle.y property), height (Rectangle.height property) bottomRight (Rectangle.bottomRight property)public bottomRight : Point The location of the Rectangle object's bottom-right corner, determined by the values of the x and y properties. Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8 Example The following example sets the Rectangle object's bottomRight property using the values of the Point object. Notice that rect.width and rect.height are changed. import flash.geom.Rectangle; import flash.geom.Point; var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(1, 2, 4, 8); trace(rect.bottom); // 10 trace(rect.right); // 5 trace(rect.height); // 8 trace(rect.width); // 4 var myBottomRight:Point = new Point(16, 32); rect.bottomRight = myBottomRight; trace(rect.bottom); // 32 trace(rect.right); // 16 trace(rect.height); // 30 trace(rect.width); // 15 See also Point (flash.geom.Point) clone (Rectangle.clone method)public clone() : Rectangle Returns a new Rectangle object with the same values for the x, y, width, and height properties as the original Rectangle object. Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8 Returns flash.geom.Rectangle - A new Rectangle object with the same values for the x, y, width, and height properties as the original Rectangle object. Example The following example creates three Rectangle objects and compares them. rect_1 is created using the Rectangle constructor. rect_2 is created by setting it equal to rect_1. And, clonedRect is created by cloning rect_1. Notice that while rect_2 evaluates as being equal to rect_1, clonedRect, even though it contains the same values as rect_1, does not. import flash.geom.Rectangle; var rect_1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(1, 2, 4, 8); var rect_2:Rectangle = rect_1; var clonedRect:Rectangle = rect_1.clone(); trace(rect_1 == rect_2); // true trace(rect_1 == clonedFilter); // false for(var i in rect_1) { trace(">> " + i + ": " + rect_1[i]); >> toString: [type Function] >> equals: [type Function] >> union: [type Function] >> intersects: [type Function] >> intersection: [type Function] >> containsRectangle: [type Function] >> containsPoint: [type Function] >> contains: [type Function] >> offsetPoint: [type Function] >> offset: [type Function] >> inflatePoint: [type Function] >> inflate: [type Function] >> size: (x=4, y=8) >> bottomRight: (x=5, y=10) >> topLeft: (x=1, y=2) >> bottom: 10 >> top: 2 >> right: 5 >> left: 1 >> isEmpty: [type Function] >> setEmpty: [type Function] >> clone: [type Function] >> height: 8 >> width: 4 >> y: 2 >> x: 1 } for(var i in clonedRect) { trace(">> " + i + ": " + clonedRect[i]); >> toString: [type Function] >> equals: [type Function] >> union: [type Function] >> intersects: [type Function] >> intersection: [type Function] >> containsRectangle: [type Function] >> containsPoint: [type Function] >> contains: [type Function] >> offsetPoint: [type Function] >> offset: [type Function] >> inflatePoint: [type Function] >> inflate: [type Function] >> size: (x=4, y=8) >> bottomRight: (x=5, y=10) >> topLeft: (x=1, y=2) >> bottom: 10 >> top: 2 >> right: 5 >> left: 1 >> isEmpty: [type Function] >> setEmpty: [type Function] >> clone: [type Function] >> height: 8 >> width: 4 >> y: 2 >> x: 1 }To further demonstrate the relationships between rect_1, rect_2, and clonedRect the example below modifies the x property of rect_1. Modifying x demonstrates that the clone() method creates a new instance based on values of the rect_1 instead of pointing to them in reference. import flash.geom.Rectangle; var rect_1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(1, 2, 4, 8); var rect_2:Rectangle = rect_1; var clonedRect:Rectangle = rect_1.clone(); trace(rect_1.x); // 1 trace(rect_2.x); // 1 trace(clonedRect.x); // 1 rect_1.x = 10; trace(rect_1.x); // 10 trace(rect_2.x); // 10 trace(clonedRect.x); // 1 See also x (Rectangle.x property), y (Rectangle.y property), width (Rectangle.width property), height (Rectangle.height property) contains (Rectangle.contains method)public contains(x:Number, y:Number) : Boolean Determines whether the specified point is contained within the rectangular region defined by this Rectangle object.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8 Parameters toCompare:Object - The rectangle to compare to this Rectangle object. Returns Boolean - If the object has exactly the same values for the x, y, width, and height properties as this Rectangle object, returns true; otherwise false. Example In the following example, rect_1 and rect_2 are equal, but rect_3 is not equal to the other two objects because its x, y, width, and height properties are not equal to those of rect_1 and rect_2. import flash.geom.Rectangle; var rect_1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 100); var rect_2:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 100); var rect_3:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 60, 110); trace(rect_1.equals(rect_2)); // true; trace(rect_1.equals(rect_3)); // false; Even though the method signature expects only an abstract object, only other Rectangle instances are treated as equal. import flash.geom.Rectangle; var rect_1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 50, 100); var nonRect:Object = new Object(); nonRect.x = 0; nonRect.y = 0; nonRect.width = 50; nonRect.height = 100; trace(rect_1.equals(nonRect)); See also x (Rectangle.x property), y (Rectangle.y property), width (Rectangle.width property), height (Rectangle.height property) height (Rectangle.height property)public height : Number The height of the rectangle in pixels. Changing the height value of a Rectangle object has no effect on the x, y, and width properties. Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8 Example The following example creates a Rectangle object and changes its height property from 10 to 20. Notice that rect.bottom is also changed. import flash.geom.Rectangle; var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(5, 5, 10, 10); trace(rect.height); // 10 trace(rect.bottom); // 15 rect.height = 20; trace(rect.height); // 20 trace(rect.bottom); // 25 See also x (Rectangle.x property), y (Rectangle.y property), width (Rectangle.width property) inflate (Rectangle.inflate method)public inflate(dx:Number, dy:Number) : Void Increases the size of the Rectangle object by the specified amounts.
