Welcome to WebmasterWorld, ydmyongan!

The width and height of a flash object are set in the (x)HTML code. These can be accessed using JavaScript:

flashObject = document.getElementById('flashObjectID');
flashWidth = flashObject.width;
flashHeight = flashObject.height;

You need to do this at the client side, rather than at the server side, as there is no real access to the DOM from the server side.

yep but he's referring to accessing flash in a c+ programme not via a browser or XHTML

[BlobFisk]

Yep, I realise that. And unfortunately to the best of my knowledge there is no way of doing this. The flash object does not get a width or a height until the browser rendering engine assignes it when the page is being renderered.

Even if a flash developer gives the move canvas certain dimensions, that does not mean that those will be the sizes that the movie is rendered at.

Hi -
Open it in the Flash Player and use something
like MW Snap to get a screenshot of the window.
Crop out the menu, etc. and the resulting dimensions
of that image should be close enough for you to use.
