Method detail
align()method
public static function align(target:DisplayObject, bounds:Rectangle, horizontalAlign:String = null, verticalAlign:String = null):void

Aligns a DisplayObject vertically and horizontally within specific bounds.

Parameters
target:DisplayObject — The DisplayObject to align.
 
bounds:Rectangle — The rectangle in which to align the target DisplayObject.
 
horizontalAlign:String (default = null) — The alignment position along the horizontal axis. If null, the target's horizontal position will not change.
 
verticalAlign:String (default = null) — The alignment position along the vertical axis. If null, the target's vertical position will not change.
localToLocal()method 
public static function localToLocal(point:Point, firstDisplayObject:DisplayObject, secondDisplayObject:DisplayObject):Point

Converts a point from the local coordinate system of one DisplayObject to the local coordinate system of another DisplayObject.

Parameters
point:Point — the point to convert
 
firstDisplayObject:DisplayObject — the original coordinate system
 
secondDisplayObject:DisplayObject — the new coordinate system

Returns
Point
resizeAndMaintainAspectRatio()method 
public static function resizeAndMaintainAspectRatio(target:DisplayObject, width:Number, height:Number, aspectRatio:Number):void

Resizes a DisplayObject to fit into specified bounds such that the aspect ratio of the target's width and height does not change.

Parameters
target:DisplayObject — The DisplayObject to resize.
 
width:Number — The desired width for the target.
 
height:Number — The desired height for the target.
 
aspectRatio:Number — The desired aspect ratio. If NaN, the aspect ratio is calculated from the target's current width and height.
