How to read the width and the height of a flash file in C# or JS?

Question

Hi all,

What will i do to read the width and the height of a flash file (*.swf) in C# or JS?

I tried a solution in CodeProject.com but return value of height is incorrect.

Answer 1

You can try "SwfDotNet"

Answer 2

Did you try getComputedStyle?
Here is a cross browser implementation coming from here

function getStyle(el, cssprop){
 if (el.currentStyle) //IE
  return el.currentStyle[cssprop]
 else if (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) //others
  return document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(el, "")[cssprop]
 else //try and get inline style
  return el.style[cssprop]
}

getStyle(elm, 'height')

It returns the value of any css property of an element.

If that doesn't work you could try to embed your flash file in a DIV and measure it instead of the swf object.

EDIT:

Here is an example that work on webkit, Opera.

<div id="container" style="float:left">
    <embed 
      type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
      src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/watch_as3-vfl178359.swf"&gt;
</div>
<script>
    var div = document.getElementById('container'),
        css = window.getComputedStyle(div, null);
    alert( css.height +' - '+ css.width );
</script>
