Can Stage.stageWidth be used in FlashCS4 AS2.0?

Hello
I wanted to use stageWidth/stageHeight property in actionscript 2.0 but was getting a compile error… by default I was using stage.width/stage.height but in IE it was returning 0 when reload page, is it possible actually to use the Stage.stageWidth in AS2??

(from google got this but example was for AS3: When using the dynamic publishing method in Internet Explorer or Firefox on Mac stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight might initially return 0 (note that for Internet Explorer the stage size will be available on first load, however when reloading or revisiting a page it will initially be 0).)
