Example

The following example creates a Rectangle object, retrieves its size (

size), changes its size

(

size), and sets the new values on the Rectangle object. It is important to remember that the

Point object used by the size property uses x and y values to represent the width and height

properties of the Rectangle object.

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

import flash.geom.Point;

var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(1, 2, 4, 8);

var size:Point = rect.size;

trace(size.x); // 4;

trace(size.y); // 8;

size.x = 16;

size.y = 32;

rect.size = size;

trace(rect.x); // 1

trace(rect.y); // 2

trace(rect.width); // 16

trace(rect.height); // 32
