containsPoint (Rectangle.containsPoint method)

Determines whether the specified point is contained within the rectangular region defined by this Rectangle object. This method is similar to the Rectangle.contains() method, except that it takes a Point object as a parameter.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8

Parameters

pt:flash.geom.Point - The point, as represented by its x,y values.

Returns

Boolean - If the specified point is contained within this Rectangle object, returns true; otherwise false.

Example

The following example creates a Rectangle object and three Point objects, and tests whether each of the points falls within the boundaries of the rectangle.

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

var rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(10, 10, 50, 50);
trace(rect.containsPoint(new Point(10, 10))); // true
trace(rect.containsPoint(new Point(59, 59))); // true
trace(rect.containsPoint(new Point(60, 60))); // false
