How can i convert a Quad to a Rectangle using Starling on Flash Develop (AS3)?

I wish to use the "intersects" (from Starling) to create a collision, but i don't know how to convert my Quad "player" and my Quad "block" to Rectangles. Can someone help?

Quad contains a getBounds public method that returns a new rectangle (or an updated one if passed in on the second param), so:

var playerRect:Rectangle = quadPlayer.getBounds(this);
var blockRect:Rectangle = blockPlayer.getBounds(this);
if (playerRect.intersects(blockRect)) {
   trace("Collision!");
}

Now, I am using this as I do not know your display list hierarchy and this do not know which coordinate system your quads are in, so adjust accordingly.

Transforming coordinates

Within the display tree, each object has its own local coordinate system. If you rotate a container, you rotate that coordinate system - and thus all the children of the container.

Sometimes you need to know where a certain point lies relative to another coordinate system. That's the purpose of the method getTransformationMatrix. It will create a matrix that represents the transformation of a point in one coordinate system to another.

getBounds(targetSpace:DisplayObject, out:Rectangle = null):Rectangle [override] Returns a rectangle that completely encloses the object as it appears in another coordinate system.
