The GeometricSprite class and its subclasses
Each display object the user can add to the canvas is an instance of one of the following
subclasses of the GeometricSprite class:
CircleSprite
■
SquareSprite
■
TriangleSprite
■
The GeometricSprite class extends the flash.display.Sprite class:
public class GeometricSprite extends Sprite
The GeometricSprite class includes a number of properties common to all GeometricSprite
objects. These are set in the constructor function based on parameters passed to the function.
For example:
this.size = size;
this.lineColor = lColor;
this.fillColor = fColor;
The

interface, which defines the mathematical properties, but not the visual properties, of the
shape. The classes that implement the IGeometricShape interface are defined in the example
application for Chapter 4 (see
The GeometricSprite class defines the
override definitions in each subclass of GeometricSprite. For more information, see the
