Well, I checked, and am beginning to feel dumber and dumberer.
Somewhere, when I was dealing with this last night, my head must have been
clouded up. If I take a 150x30 movie clip in the IDE and rotate it, the
width and height, as indicated in the Properties inspector, updates the way
your calculation and the getBounds approach dictate they should.
I was expecting mc._width to always return 150, even when it was
rotated. After all, the clip's width, from its own POV, hasn't changed. In
fact, I would swear this is what was happening last night -- but, sheesh,
maybe not? If I simply trace mc's _width and _height from the main
timeline, the values returned by those properties give me the data I want.
This happens with dot notation as well as onClipEvent(load) {trace()}.
So ... I guess my whole question is moot. But now I'm scratching my
head.
