Lets say that I have a MC called “myMovieClip”, and in it there is a:  
Layer 1: 100px X 100px square  
Layer 2: 200px radius circle  
And Layer 1 is set as a mask for Layer 2. Is there a simple way to get the dimensions of the visible elements of the mask effect, and not the bounds of all of the elements in “myMovieClip”?
