Distance (Point.distance Method); Equals (Point.equals Method) - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 LANGUAGE Reference

Example
The following example creates a copy of the Point object called
found in the
myPoint
, but it is not the same object.
myPoint
import flash.geom.Point;
var myPoint:Point = new Point(1, 2);
var clonedPoint:Point = myPoint.clone();
trace(clonedPoint.x); // 1
trace(clonedPoint.y); // 2
trace(myPoint.equals(clonedPoint)); // true
trace(myPoint === clonedPoint); // false

distance (Point.distance method)

public static distance(pt1:Point, pt2:Point) : Number
Returns the distance between pt1 and pt2.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 8
Parameters
pt1:flash.geom.Point
pt2:flash.geom.Point
Returns
- The distance between the first and second points.
Number
Example
The following example creates
them (
distanceBetween
import flash.geom.Point;
var point_1:Point = new Point(-5, 0);
var point_2:Point = new Point(5, 0);
var distanceBetween:Number = Point.distance(point_1, point_2);
trace(distanceBetween); // 10

equals (Point.equals method)

public equals(toCompare:Object) : Boolean
