Except you would have to iterate through every _parent level until you hit the _root anyway, in case any ancestor clip is scaled... I've done that before for visibility ( parent was _visible=false, grandchild was _visible=true but of course not seen).

Also, you could just multiply the width/height by the scale..

var w = subClip._width * subClip._parent._xscale / 100;
var h = subClip._height * subClip._parent._yscale / 100;

Sorry for the psuedo code.

If you use localToGlobal you can find the dimensions in root
coordinates.
///////////////////////////////////
var topleft = {x: inner._x, y: inner._y};
var bottomright = {x: inner._x + inner._width, y: inner._y +
inner._height};

inner._parent.localToGlobal(topleft);
inner._parent.localToGlobal(bottomright);

trace("inner from: " + topleft.x + "," + topleft.y +
     " to: " + bottomright.x + "," + bottomright.y );

wierd that i've never hit this before, but I'm running into an issue
with
getting the width of a clip's children after the parent clip has been
scaled
down.

So, I say parent clip name "holder_mc".  I create 4 movieclips inside
holder_mc and load movie into them.  Each of the loaded clips are 600
x600.
If i scale holder_mc down 50%, each of the loaded clips still reports
their
size as 600x600.

Somebody's HAD to have dealt with this one already...any suggestions?
