Q: 

Any AS3 alternatives to Colin Moock's approach to visible width/height of DisplayObject?

Has anyone got any alternatives to what Colin Moock has coded to GET VISIBLE WIDTH/HEIGHT OF A DISPLAY OBJECT in ActionScript 3? That esp. in perspective of DisplayObjects that have 3D transforms applied and visible dimensions of which you need to consider for a calculation.

Any leads would be appreciated.

A: 

Haven't tested this... try: displayObject.transform.pixelBounds().

__pixelBounds__ is not a method but a property of Transform class, thus the above code would result in error. What pixelBounds will retrieve is the Rectangle object with the bounds of the DisplayObject before transformations, unfortunately.

There's a workaround that deploys BitmapData at http://tekkie.flashbit.net/flash/as/actionscript-3-lacks-functionality-for-visible-bounds-of-displayobject

A: 

Since the appropriate functionality is entirely missing from ActionScript 3 at this point, please vote for the feature request at Adobe!
