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)
