Correct usage of getBounds will give you the correct result. You have to point the coordinate scope of the getBounds method to the parent of the mc.
var o:Object; o = mc.getBounds (mc._parent); trace ("w: "+(o.xMax-o.xMin)); trace ("h: "+(o.yMax-o.yMin)); mc._rotation = 45; o = mc.getBounds (mc._parent); trace ("w: "+(o.xMax-o.xMin)); trace ("h: "+(o.yMax-o.yMin)); // outputs /* w: 114.95 h: 114.95 w: 162.6 h: 162.6 */ Yotam.
