Stage.width
Description
The integer width property indicates the pixel width of the movie, depending on the setting
of
Stage.scaleMode. When scaleMode is set to “noScale”, width reports the size of the Flash
Player’s available display area—either the Standalone Player window’s dimensions or the
current size of the
OBJECT/EMBED region in the browser. When scaleMode is not set to
“noScale”,
width reports the size of the Flash movie as specified at authoring time via
Modify
➝ Document ➝ Dimensions.
In Test Movie mode,
scaleMode defaults to “noScale”, so width may not match the dimen-
sions set at authoring time. In a browser or the Standalone Player,
scaleMode defaults to
“showAll”, so
width matches the dimensions set at authoring time unless scaleMode is
explicitly set to “noScale”.
To receive notification when
Stage.width changes, add listeners for the Stage.onResize()
listener event.
Usage

objects on the main movie timeline.
