How do I programatically get the pixel dimensions of my SWF. I tried using _stage.width_ and _stage.height_, but this seems to be a tight bounding box on all the objects in the video, not the actual viewing area. I also want these pixel dimensions to be accurate as javascript dynamically resizes this SWF.
