pixelBounds (Transform.pixelBounds property) -- Flash CS3

A Rectangle object that defines the bounding rectangle of the MovieClip object on the Stage.

Example

The following example creates a Transform object trans and traces out its pixelBounds property. Notice that pixelBounds returns a bounding box with values equal to the MovieClip object's getBounds() and getRect() methods.

import flash.geom.Transform;

var rect:MovieClip = createRectangle(20, 80, 0xFF0000);
var trans:Transform = new Transform(rect);
trace(trans.pixelBounds); // (x=0, y=0, w=20, h=80)

var boundsObj:Object = rect.getBounds();
trace(boundsObj.xMin); // 0
trace(boundsObj.yMin); // 0
trace(boundsObj.xMax); // 20
trace(boundsObj.yMax); // 80

var rectObj:Object = rect.getRect();
trace(rectObj.xMin); // 0
trace(rectObj.yMin); // 0
trace(rectObj.xMax); // 20
trace(rectObj.yMax); // 80

function createRectangle(width:Number, height:Number, color:Number, scope:MovieClip):MovieClip {
    scope = (scope == undefined) ? this : scope;
    var depth:Number = scope.getNextHighestDepth();
    var mc:MovieClip = scope.createEmptyMovieClip("mc_" + depth, depth);
    mc.beginFill(color);
    mc.lineTo(0, height);
    mc.lineTo(width, height);
    mc.lineTo(width, 0);
    mc.lineTo(0, 0);
    return mc;
}
