distanceToXY(displayObject, x, y, world) → {number}
Find the distance between a display object (like a Sprite) and the given x/y coordinates.
The calculation is made from the display objects x/y coordinate. This may be the top-left if its anchor hasn't been changed.
If you need to calculate from the center of a display object instead use the method distanceBetweenCenters()
The optional world argument allows you to return the result based on the Game Objects world property,
instead of its x and y values. This is useful of the object has been nested inside an offset Group,
or parent Game Object.
