Using bounds

[evan]

can I set a rectangular boundry programatically rather than what I have been doing

wich is placing a sprite and assigning event listeners like this:


pad.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,hideThis, false, 0, true);
and


pad.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,showThis, false, 0, true);

it works but I'm looking for another way to improve on an idea.

Not sure if this is what you want, but you might want to look at the getBounds() method (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/display/DisplayObject.html#getBounds()) in the DisplayObject class.

I hope this better illustrates what I have in mind:


function testcirc(evt:Event):void
{

if(circ(25,25,200,200))

{
trace("circ is in the boundry")
}
}
