Finding the Movie's Height

The HEIGHT property designates the current frame's height. You can get this property, but not set it. The HEIGHT property is no. 9, so you get its value by going:

  mySwf.TGetProperty(timeline, 9);

Play the following movie by clicking the Play link. Get the HEIGHT of the movie by clicking the Get HEIGHT link. Notice that the height of the movie changes as it loads. Click the Get HEIGHT link a few times during the loading period:

Here is the source code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="flashcheck2.js">
</SCRIPT>
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.
 Rewind(); return false">Rewind</A> |
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:mySwf2.Play();
 return false">Play</A> |
<A href="javascript://" onclick="javascript:alert(mySwf2.
 TGetProperty('/', 9)); return false">Get HEIGHT</A>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  var mySwf2 = Flash_embedSWF("opener.swf", "opener");
</SCRIPT>
