width (Stage.width property)

public static width : Number

Property (read-only); indicates the current width, in pixels, of the Stage. When the value of

Stage.scaleMode is "noScale", the width property represents the width of Flash Player.

This means that

Stage.width will vary as you resize the player window. When the value of

Stage.scaleMode is not "noScale", width represents the width of the SWF file as set at

author-time in the Document Properties dialog box. This means that the value of

width will

stay constant as you resize the player window.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0

Example

This example creates a new listener object called stageListener. It then uses

stageListener to call onResize and define a function that will be called when onResize is

triggered. Finally, the code adds the

stageListener object to the callback list of the Stage

object. Listener objects allow multiple objects to listen for resize notifications.

this.createTextField("stageSize_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10,

100, 22);

var stageListener:Object = new Object();

stageListener.onResize = function() {

stageSize_txt.text = "w:"+Stage.width+", h:"+Stage.height;

};

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

Stage.addListener(stageListener);
