I can't speak to AS3, but in AS2 I have to do an interval which constantly checks the stage width. Initially it's the size given at build time, then it switches to 0, then some time later it switches to the actual size. I have all my initialization wait until I see the size set to something other than 0 or 1 (I set everything to 1x1 at build time so I can detect it).
I'd hope it's better in AS3, but maybe not. -Andy On 8/7/07, mario gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone??? > > Is using timeout for this just standard practice? > > mario gonzalez wrote: > > When I compile the SWF (flash 9 / as3.0) I have a function which uses > > stage.stageWidth to create a grid. > > > > For the children of any object, I of course use Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE > > to avoid getting a null reference to stage.
