Properties and methods of the DisplayObject class
Flash Player 9 and later, Adobe AIR 1.0 and
later
|
All
display objects are subclasses of the DisplayObject class, and as
such they inherit the properties and methods of the DisplayObject
class. The properties inherited are basic properties that apply
to all display objects. For example, each display object has an
x
property
and a
y
property that specifies the object’s position
in its display object container.
You
cannot create a DisplayObject instance using the DisplayObject class constructor.
You must create another type of object (an object that is a subclass of
the DisplayObject class), such as a Sprite, to instantiate an object
with the
new
operator. Also, if you want to create
a custom display object class, you must create a subclass of one
of the display object subclasses that has a usable constructor function
(such as the Shape class or the Sprite class). For more information,
see the
DisplayObject
class description in
the
ActionScript 3.0 Reference for the Adobe
Flash Platform
.
