The class named MyRectangle is so similar to the class named MyCircle that it doesn't warrant a detailed explanation. A complete listing of the file is provided in Listing 13 near the end of the lesson.
The constructor receives and saves numeric values for the width and the height of the rectangle.
The overridden area method computes the area as the product of the width and the height and concatenates that information into a returned String object where it is displayed in the format shown in Figure 5.
I encourage you to run this program from the web. Then copy the code from Listing 9 through Listing 13. Use thatcode to create a Flex project. Compile and run the project. Experiment with the code, making changes, and observing the results of yourchanges. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as theydo.
I will publish a list containing links to ActionScript resources as a separate document. Search for ActionScript Resources in theConnexions search box.
Complete listings of the Flex and ActionScript files used in this program are provided in Listing 9 through Listing 13 below.
