rectangle (BitmapData.rectangle property)

public rectangle : Rectangle [read-only]

The rectangle that defines the size and location of the bitmap image. The top and left of the rectangle are 0; the width and height are equal to the width and height in pixels of the BitmapData object.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8

Example

The following example shows that the rectangle property of the Bitmap instance is read-only by trying to set it and failing:

import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(100, 80, false, 0x00CCCCCC);

var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(myBitmapData.rectangle); // (x=0, y=0, w=100, h=80)

myBitmapData.rectangle = new Rectangle(1, 2, 4, 8);
trace(myBitmapData.rectangle); // (x=0, y=0, w=100, h=80)

I'm not sure the rectangle should be in the property list for BitmapData or not. If yes, please add it back to the BitmapData livedoc.
