RectBorder class

The RectBorder class is used as the border of most components. A separate implementation of this class is provided by each theme, which has its own set of border styles and properties that it supports.

NOTE

 

The RectBorder class is supported only if you are working in a document that specifies ActionScript 2.0 in its Publish Settings.

You interact with the RectBorder class primarily by setting styles on other components. For example, when you include a List component in a document and set the borderStyle style property, the List component creates a RectBorder instance that uses the list's borderStyle setting. You can also create a custom RectBorder implementation to skin the border of all components that use RectBorder.

The RectBorder class has four standard display styles: none, inset, outset, and solid.
