I am loading an external swf using the SWFLoader component. The swf that
is being loaded is masked so that only a portion is being shown.
However, when it's loaded the actual size of the swf
(loader.content.width/loader.content.height) is the complete swf
including the masked area. Therefore, the loaded swf does not display
properly in the itemrenderer Is there a way to to grab the size of the
just the masked area as opposed to getting the size of the entire swf's
contents?
One item to note that is complicating the issue, is that these are swf
files that have already been created and there are many of them. In some
instances, the size of the stage matches up with the size of the masked
area. In other instances, the stage is larger (or possibly smaller) than
the masked area movieclip as well as possibly the actual size of the
movieclip (w/o the mask).
I am currently loading the external swf in using a Loader. Once loaded,
I make a copy (screen shot) of the swf by creating a bmp of the
loader.content.This is done as I don't want to have any animations being
shown on screen at this moment. I am setting the size of the bmp using
using loader.content.width & loader.content.height. I then set the
SWFLoader.source to the bitmap.
