Juan,
(Yeah, it was me on Flash_Tiger... :-) )
To be fair, I'd have suggested that to Andrew a while back, except he said:
Thanks Steve. I thought maybe I was onto something with the LoaderInfo
classes width and height props that
return the nominal w and h, but this information doesn't
Hi Ian,
Some of what I'm seeing is that quite a few of the swfs that I happen to
be loading contain their own internal scaling functions. Most typically
I'm seeing are swfs that automatically scale to stage.stageWidth and
stage.stageHeight. This is for the most part easy to detect, but
Hi Andrew,
As far as I remember, the YouTube .swf is a shell around an .flv.
So the dimensions of the shell .swf may bear absolutely no
resemblance at all to the size of the contained video; and off-hand, I
can't think of a way to get at the contained video size. But aren't
they all
Of course, it's a swf around a flv. This makes a bit more sense now.
My guess is that the size of the flv _will_ vary, after all there are
lots of different video formats. The YouTube shell is going to have its
own internal algorithms for computing the scaling of the flv and the
placement
PD:
I think someone at Flash_Tiger just found a way simpler and more straight
forward means to get the stage size:
Try loaderInfo.width and loaderInfo.height.

Hi Juan Pablo,
I just got back to this problem and tested your SwfHeader class. From
the few tests that I've run, this returns exactly the same dimensions
that the LoaderInfo class does.
I'm still stuck. Here's an example of a swf on YouTube:

Hi Andrew,
I'm not sure were the problem could be, but checking both swf's I got
640x480 and 600x200, which seems right. If I open the swf standalone (I
mean double clicking on it), the player opens it with those dimensions.
Plus, I've converted the to fla just to check the dimensions and I got
Thanks Juan. I have a question about the internal class SwfRect that's
at the end of the SwfHeader class. I'm really new to AS3, so this will
sound like a really dumb question: Where does the internal class
SwfRect go? It's outside of the package. Can it be in the same file?
Does it need
Actionscript 3.0 allows only one public symbol (class, function, variable or
constant) per .as file. I made that class internal so I could put both
classes in just one file for this sample, but apart from that, it's not
neccesary, really.

No, this is not easy. Unfortunately the data that defines the stage size is
not directly available in AS code. I believe it is only in the swf
file's header, so you would actually have to do a lot of work to figure out
what size the swf should be masked at.

Andrew, it looks like you sized it a bit too small. Try posting your

As someone already said, you can grab that data from the swf header.
I've done this in C# / .NET and I've just wrote a quick and dirty port of
the header parsing part to AS 3.0. Probably there's room for optimization
but as a proof of concept I think it's ok. Also, the code could use some
16 matches
