Document object 121
bReplaceCurrentSelection A Boolean value, that if set to true, replaces the current
selection. If it is
false, the method adds to the current selection. The default value, if not set, is
true.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; draws a rectangular selection marquee relative to the Stage, using the specified
coordinates. This is unlike
document.getSelectionRect(), in which the rectangle is relative to
the object being edited.
This method is equivalent to dragging a rectangle with the arrow tool. An instance must be fully
enclosed by the rectangle to be selected.
Note: Repeating setSelectionRect() using the History panel or menu item repeats the step previous
to the setSelectionRect() operation.
See document.selection and document.setSelectionBounds().
Example
In the following example, the second selection replaces the first one:
fl.getDocumentDOM().setSelectionRect({left:1, top:1, right:200, bottom:200});
fl.getDocumentDOM().setSelectionRect({left:364.0, top:203.0, right:508.0,
bottom:434.0}, true);
In the following example, the second selection is added to the first selection. This is the same as
the manual operation of holding down Shift and selecting a second object.
fl.getDocumentDOM().setSelectionRect({left:1, top:1, right:200, bottom:200});
fl.getDocumentDOM().setSelectionRect({left:364.0, top:203.0, right:508.0,
bottom:434.0}, false);
