Question

If I have a rectangle on the stage, how do I find its top left tip (x,y) and the bottom right tip (x,y) in relation to the stage? It strange how I can’t find this on google!

Answer 1

localToGlobal(point) of DisplayObject Converts the point object from the display object’s (local) coordinates to the Stage (global) coordinates.

// assuming (0, 0) is top left
var topLeftStage:Point = myDisplayObject.localToGlobal(new Point(0, 0));

// bottom right
var bottomRightStage:Point = myDisplayObject.localToGlobal(new Point(width, height));
