MovieClip 467

Example

The following example creates a movie clip called

square_mc. The code draws a square for

that movie clip and uses

MovieClip.getBounds() to display the coordinate values of the

instance in the Output panel.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", 1);

square_mc._x = 10;

square_mc._y = 10;

square_mc.beginFill(0xFF0000);

square_mc.moveTo(0, 0);

square_mc.lineTo(100, 0);

square_mc.lineTo(100, 100);

square_mc.lineTo(0, 100);

square_mc.lineTo(0, 0);

square_mc.endFill();

var bounds_obj:Object = square_mc.getBounds(this);

for (var i in bounds_obj) {

trace(i+" --> "+bounds_obj[i]);

}

The following information appears in the Output panel:

yMax --> 110

yMin --> 10

xMax --> 110

xMin --> 10
