Try .clip. as well.

I'm still a little vague on which refers to what.

Great idea, Dave, but

debug('mask width is ' + graphic.clip().myMask._width);
debug('mask height is ' + graphic.clip().MyMask._height);

Gives the same goofy numbers.

graphic is the Xerte mc, your clip would be loaded into that.

Forgot to include this info:
my monitor screen is set to 1680 x 1050my xerte LO size is 790 x 558the stage size within the swf and the dimensions of the mask are both 440 x 158

Where in the world is the 1900 x 1200 coming from?

Thanks again

Thanks Julian, 
After changing the mask to a MC (defined as shown in the
 attached screen grab), I'm getting unexpected numbers for it's dimensions.

My swf icon is called "graphic", and my onLoad script contains the following:

debug('graphic is ' + graphic);

debug('width is ' + graphic._width);

debug('height is ' + graphic._height);

debug('mask width is ' + graphic.myMask._width);

debug('mask height is ' + graphic.myMask._height);

I can't figure out why my debug window is giving me the following:

graphic is _level0.engine.IFC.PG_MC2.DIS_MC3

width is 481.9

height is 158

mask width is 1900

mask height is 1200

Am I accessing the the swf correctly?  
Suspect I'm either making a really stupid mistake, or basically don't understand how to access a MC contained in a swf.

Thanks!

The movieclip must have a name – you must be able to address it

_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!
