The file named MyRectangle.as

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.

Run the program

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.

Resources

I will publish a list containing links to ActionScript resources as a separate document. Search for ActionScript Resources in theConnexions search box.

Complete program listing

Complete listings of the Flex and ActionScript files used in this program are provided in Listing 9 through Listing 13 below.

lack electricity and its more savely than electronic microscope because its naturally by using of light

advantage of electronic microscope is easily and clearly while disadvantage is dangerous because its electronic. advantage of light microscope is savely and naturally by sun while disadvantage is not easily,means its not sharp and not clear

in what situation (s) would be the use of a scanning electron microscope be ideal and why?
Kenna Reply
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
