Hi Everyone,

I have a question. I have a BitmapData with 2 red circles. I want to find the rectangle area or each circle. If i use \*\*getColorBoundsRect \*\* I get the smallest area enclosed by the 2 circles.

How can i go about this and get individual area of the circles?  
below is a diagram i created to better explain my question
