How do you get the top-right corner of an image in Flex

Question

I want to get the top-right corner of an image in flex .... so far i can just get the x and y which are top-left by default .... sorry im a noob and if this is a dumb question

Answer 1

Have you tried adding the image width to x?

Answer 2

Flex supports three coordinate systems as you will find here:

• global
• local
• content

Depending on how your image is laid-out you will have to use the image.x and width values and an appropriate conversion function.

Answer 3

I'm not very involved in Flex but for flash AS2 I would do:

var top:Number
var right:Number

top = myImageObj._y
right = myImageObj._x + myImageObj._width

There might be a bit different in AS3 I think they have changed "._y" to ".Y" but I'm not sure.

Anyway the principle is the same. Use the top left and then just add the width to get the right edge
