Rectangle (flash.geom.Rectangle) 1053

For example, consider a rectangle with properties x=20, y=50, width=60, and height=30 (20,

50, 60, 30), and a second rectangle with properties (150, 130, 50, 30). The union of these

two rectangles is a larger rectangle that encompasses the two rectangles with the properties

(20, 50, 180, 110).

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var rect_1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(20, 50, 60, 30);

var rect_2:Rectangle = new Rectangle(150, 130, 50, 30);

var combined:Rectangle = rect_1.union(rect_2);

trace(combined.toString()); // (x=20, y=50, w=180, h=110)

width (Rectangle.width property)

public width : Number

The width of the rectangle in pixels. Changing the value of the width property of a Rectangle

object has no effect on the

x, y, and height properties.

Example

The following example creates a Rectangle object and change its

width property from 10 to

20. Notice that

rect.right also changes.

import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(5, 5, 10, 10);

trace(rect.width); // 10

trace(rect.right); // 15

rect.width = 20;

trace(rect.width); // 20

trace(rect.right); // 25
