public containsPoint(pt:Point) : Boolean
Determines whether the specified point is contained within the rectangular region defined by
this Rectangle object. This method is similar to the

that it takes a Point object as a parameter.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
Parameters
pt:flash.geom.Point - The point, as represented by its x,y values.
Returns
Boolean - If the specified point is contained within this Rectangle object, returns true;
otherwise
false.
Example
The following example creates a Rectangle object and three Point objects, and tests whether
each of the points falls within the boundaries of the rectangle.
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;
var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 50, 50);
trace(rect.containsPoint(new Point(10, 10))); // true
trace(rect.containsPoint(new Point(59, 59))); // true
trace(rect.containsPoint(new Point(60, 60))); // false
