07Aug Flash Tutorial: Flash Stage Size

Recently stumbled onto a blog post that pointed out the fact that you could use loaderInfo.width/height properties in junction with determining the center of the stage. This information helps a lot as I have found that IE6 will sometimes not report the correct size of the SWF in the browser on the stage properties .width or .stageWidth for example.

• stage.width + stage.height – the size of the content on the stage.
• stage.stageWidth + stage.stageHeight – that dimensions of the monitor the flash player is currently consuming
• loaderInfo.width + loaderInfo.height – that of the Fla’s publish settings
