[Xerte] Stage size of embedded swf - Xerte 2 Desktop

[Julian Tenney]

The movieclip must have a name - you must be able to address it somehow?

 

_level0.IFC.blah.yourSWF.mask etc?

Thanks, Julian & Peter.

The mask does not have a name but I do have the source files and will
give it one to test out the theory. 

Thanks!

There is only one stage - the loaded .swf's dimensions are all you have.
If you can discover the name of the loaded's swf's mask, you can get the
dimensions from that..?

Hi all,
I can't figure this one out, and can't find anything in the list
archives.  Anybody know if this is possible?

I'm trying to get at the stage width and height of a swf loaded onto a
page.  I'm using the Text Flash SWF page template with a swf that has
elements hanging off the sides of the stage that we don't see because of
a mask.

Graphic._width returns the width of everything including the elements we
don't see, so when the template places a panel behind it, it's too wide.
Not a big deal to fix by hand but it would be great if I could somehow
get at the swf stage width & height to size the panel automatically.

The stage for the swf is 440 x 158, but graphic._width returns 481.9
which includes the stuff we don't see.

Thanks!
ma
