Parameters
x
A floating point value that specifies the x coordinate of where the vertex should be positioned,
in pixels.
y A floating point value that specifies the y coordinate of where the vertex should be positioned,
in pixels.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; sets the location of the vertex. You must call shape.beginEdit() before using this
method.
Example
The following example sets the vertex to the origin point.
var shape = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0];
var hEdge = shape.edges[0].getHalfEdge(0);
var vertex = hEdge.getVertex();
// move the vertex to the origin
vertex.setLocation(0.0, 0.0);
vertex.x
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
vertex.x
Description
Read-only property; the x location of the vertex in pixels.
Example
The following example displays the location of the x and y values of the vertex in the Output
panel.
var shape = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0];
var hEdge = shape.edges[0].getHalfEdge(0);
var vertex = hEdge.getVertex();
fl.trace('x location of vertex is: ' + vertex.x);
fl.trace('y location of vertex is: ' + vertex.y);
