A NativeWindow object dispatches a NativeWindowBoundsEvent object when the size or location of the window changes.

There are four types of events:

  • NativeWindowBoundsEvent.MOVING
  • NativeWindowBoundsEvent.MOVE
  • NativeWindowBoundsEvent.RESIZING
  • NativeWindowBoundsEvent.RESIZE

AIR-only 

afterBounds

property
afterBounds:Rectangle  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The bounds of the window after the change.

If the event is moving or resizing, the bounds have not yet changed; afterBounds indicates the new bounds if the event is not canceled. If the event is move or resize, afterBounds indicates the new bounds.



Implementation
    public function get afterBounds():Rectangle
AIR-only 

beforeBounds

property 
beforeBounds:Rectangle  [read-only]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions: AIR 1.0

The bounds of the window before the change.

If the event is moving or resizing, the bounds have not yet changed; beforeBounds reflects the current bounds. If the event is move or resize, beforeBounds indicates the original value.



Implementation
    public function get beforeBounds():Rectangle
