    flv dimensions?

    Is there a way to figure out the dimensions of an flv file?
    You know what they say:
    Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
    Unless he doesn't like sushi—then you also have to teach him to cook.

    when you load the FLV, it will take the first 3 frame before you can get the dimensions of the movie.

    I named the flv player mc_player you can do this:

    script you can put in timeline:

    i=0;
    mc_player.onEnterFrame = function() {
    i++;
    if(i==4)
    {
    flvwidth = mc_player._width;
    flvheight = mc_player._height;
    }
    }

    flvwidth, flvheight are the dimensions of the flv movie.
    I tried reading the dimensions before loading, but with no results, it first needs to be loaded before you can get those properties.

    just a little more elaboration on that code please...

    thanks!


    Alternatively....
    If i use the video wizard to open the flv into flash by file >open, then when you hit finish, you can then select the movie on the stage and view it's own dimensions separate from the movie, is this an accurate way of determining flv size instead??

    Yes, I thoughed you where refering to dynamicly loading a FLV, if you only need to know the dimensions when still in the flash editor, your option is much faster .

    You could always do a check if the dimensions are correct, by setting the flash movie according to the dimensions of the movie, that way you can check if it works.
