topLeft (Rectangle.topLeft property)

The location of the Rectangle object's top-left corner determined by the x and y values of the point.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8

Example

The following example sets the Rectangle object's topLeft property using the values in a Point object. Notice that rect.x and rect.y are changed.

import flash.geom.Rectangle;
import flash.geom.Point;

var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle();
trace(rect.left); // 0
trace(rect.top); // 0
trace(rect.x); // 0
trace(rect.y); // 0

var myTopLeft:Point = new Point(5, 15);
rect.topLeft = myTopLeft;
trace(rect.left); // 5
trace(rect.top); // 15
trace(rect.x); // 5
trace(rect.y); // 15
