Legal dimensions specifications: {x, y [, coordinate space]}, {x, resize constraint [, coordinate space]}, or {resize constraint, y [, coordinate space]}; where x and y are real numbers and coordinate space is used to determine _only_ the unit of length for x and y; coordinate space is ignored for the 'current dimensions times' resize method). Can accept: Array of Reals, ResizeConstraints enumerators or CoordinateSpaces enumerators.
 
resizeIndividuallyParam:Boolean (default = true) — (Boolean) If false and multiple page items are targeted, the new dimensions are attained only by moving the individual items rather than resizing them. (Optional)
 
consideringRulerUnitsParam:Boolean (default = false) — (Boolean) If true then a ruler location is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional)

resolve()method 
override public function resolve(locationParam:Object = null, inParam:CoordinateSpaces = null, consideringRulerUnitsParam:Boolean = false):Object

Since : CS5

Get the coordinates of the given location in the specified coordinate system.

Parameters

locationParam:Object (default = null) — (Object) The location requested. Can accept: Array of 2 Reals, AnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Reals, CoordinateSpaces enumerators, AnchorPoint enumerators, BoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers.
 
inParam:CoordinateSpaces (default = null) — (CoordinateSpaces) The coordinate space to use.
 
consideringRulerUnitsParam:Boolean (default = false) — (Boolean) If true then a ruler location is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional)

Returns
Object
select()method 
override public function select(existingSelectionParam:SelectionOptions = null):void

Since : CS5

Selects the object.

Parameters

existingSelectionParam:SelectionOptions (default = null) — (SelectionOptions) The selection status of the MultiStateObject in relation to previously selected objects. (Optional)

sendBackward()method 
public function sendBackward():void

Since : CS5

Sends the MultiStateObject back one level in its layer.

sendToBack()method 
public function sendToBack(referenceParam:PageItem = null):void

Since : CS5

Sends the MultiStateObject to the back of its layer or behind a particular item (must have same parent).

Parameters

referenceParam:PageItem (default = null) — (PageItem) The reference object to send the object behind (Optional)

store()method 
override public function store(usingParam:Library = null, withPropertiesParam:Object = null):Asset

Since : CS5

Stores the object in the specified library.

Parameters

usingParam:Library (default = null) — (Library) The library in which to store the object.
 
withPropertiesParam:Object (default = null) — (Object) Initial values for properties of the new MultiStateObject (Optional)

Returns
Asset
toSpecifier()method 
override public function toSpecifier():String

Since : CS5

Retrieves the object specifier.

Returns
String
transform()method 
override public function transform(inParam:CoordinateSpaces = null, fromParam:Object = null, withMatrixParam:Object = null, replacingCurrentParam:Object = null, consideringRulerUnitsParam:Boolean = false):void

Since : CS5

Transform the page item.

Parameters

inParam:CoordinateSpaces (default = null) — (CoordinateSpaces) The coordinate space to use
 
fromParam:Object (default = null) — (Object) The temporary origin during the transformation. Can accept: Array of 2 Reals, AnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Reals, CoordinateSpaces enumerators, AnchorPoint enumerators, BoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers.
 
withMatrixParam:Object (default = null) — (Object) Transform matrix. Can accept: Array of 6 Reals or TransformationMatrix.
 
replacingCurrentParam:Object (default = null) — (Object) Transform components to consider; providing this optional parameter causes the target's existing transform components to be replaced with new values. Without this parameter, the given matrix is concatenated onto the target's existing transform combining the effect of the two. Can accept: MatrixContent enumerator, Array of MatrixContent enumerators or Long Integer. (Optional)
 
consideringRulerUnitsParam:Boolean (default = false) — (Boolean) If true then a ruler based origin is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional)

transformAgain()method
