Claus, That's a great suggestion - the best answers are often the overlooked, obvious ones.
But I don't think so - in the original SWFs, the masks aren't movieclips - they're just fills. So, I don't know how you'd check their width or height. The key thing about the application is that I won't know anything about the SWFs that are being loaded. My app should simply load a swf into a container movieclip, then attempt to scale it to fit the stage, and center it. Ordinarily, I can just check the container._width and container._height to accomplish this. But I've tested a few SWFs that weren't working properly, and that's when I discovered that they were using masks, which throws off the _width and _height. I can't assume that the SWFs will use a movieclip as a mask. Thanks again for your advice. Cheers, Matt On 4/18/07, Claus Wahlers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
