Description
Method; if the selection contains at least one path with at least one Bézier point selected,
moves all selected Bézier points on all selected paths by the specified amount.
Example
The following example moves the selected Bézier points 10 pixels to the right and 5 pixels
down:
fl.getDocumentDOM().moveSelectedBezierPointsBy({x:10, y:5});
document.moveSelectionBy()
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
document.moveSelectionBy( distanceToMove )
Parameters
distanceToMove A pair of floating-point values that specify the x and y coordinate values
by which the method moves the selection. For example, passing ({
x:1,y:2}) specifies a
location one pixel to the right and two pixels down from the current location.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; moves selected objects by a specified distance.
For information on making a selection, see document.setSelectionRect(),
document.mouseClick(), document.mouseDblClk(), and the Element object.
Example
The following example moves the selected item 62 pixels to the right and 84 pixels down:
flash.getDocumentDOM().moveSelectionBy({x:62, y:84});
NOTE
When using arrow keys to move the item, the History panel combines all presses of the
arrow key as one move step. When the user presses the arrow keys repeatedly, rather
than taking multiple steps in the History panel, the method performs one step, and the
arguments are updated to reflect the repeated arrow keys.
