Rectangle (flash.geom.Rectangle) 1039
Parameters
rect :flash.geom.Rectangle
- The Rectangle object being checked.
Returns
Boolean
- If the Rectangle object that you specify is contained by this Rectangle object,
returns
true
; otherwise
false
.
Example
The following example creates four new Rectangle objects and determines whether rectangle
A contains rectangle B, C, or D.
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
var rectA:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 50, 50);
var rectB:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 50, 50);
var rectC:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 51, 51);
var rectD:Rectangle = new Rectangle(15, 15, 45, 45);
trace(rectA.containsRectangle(rectB)); // true
trace(rectA.containsRectangle(rectC)); // false
trace(rectA.containsRectangle(rectD)); // true
equals (Rectangle.equals method)
public equals(toCompare:Object) : Boolean
Determines whether the object specified in the
toCompare
parameter is equal to this
Rectangle object. This method compares the
x
,
y
,
width
, and
height
properties of an object
against the same properties of this Rectangle object.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
Parameters
toCompare :Object
- The rectangle to compare to this Rectangle object.
Returns
Boolean
- If the object has exactly the same values for the
x
,
y
,
width
, and
height
properties
as this Rectangle object, returns
true
; otherwise
false
.
Example
In the following example,
rect_1
and
rect_2
are equal, but
rect_3
is not equal to the other
two objects because its
x
,
y
,
width
, and
height
properties are not equal to those of
rect_1
and
rect_2
.
