_width (MovieClip._width property)

The width of the movie clip, in pixels.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 4

Example

The following code example displays the height and width of a movie clip in the Output panel:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle", this.getNextHighestDepth());

triangle.beginFill(0x0000FF, 100);
triangle.moveTo(100, 100);
triangle.lineTo(100, 150);
triangle.lineTo(150, 100);
triangle.lineTo(100, 100);

trace(triangle._name + " = " + triangle._width + " X " + triangle._height + " pixels");

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player 7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components' DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
