Classpublic class GraphicElement
InheritanceGraphicElement Inheritance EventDispatcher Inheritance Object
Implements IGraphicElement, IInvalidating, ILayoutElement, IVisualElement, IMXMLObject
Subclasses BitmapImage, StrokedElement

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 4
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 10, AIR 1.5

A base class for defining individual graphic elements. Types of graphic elements include:
  • Shapes
  • Text
  • Raster images

When defining a graphic element, you specify an explicit size for the element; that is, you cannot use percentage sizing as you can when specifying the size of a control.

The TBounds are the boundaries of an object in the object's parent coordinate space. The UBounds are the boundaries of an object in its own coordinate space.

If you set the transform.matrix declaratively in MXML, then it will override the values of any transform properties (rotation, scaleX, scaleY, x, and y). If you set the transform.matrix or the transform properties in ActionScript, then the last value set will be used.
