I am actually having the same problem -
I have a canvas with the width set to 100%. If I try and get the
width in pixels through AS it returns 0.
If I try the same thing through mxml it works fine.
So this in AS:
public function getMiddle():Number {
var x:Number;
x = mainCanvas.width*.5;
return x;
}
--returns 0
in MXML:
<mx:Label text="{mainCanvas.width*.5}"/>
--returns the amount in pixels.
Anyone out there know how to get the pixel value though AS?
