MovieClip.getBounds() 501
Example
The following example uses the _framesloaded property to start a SWF file when all the frames
are loaded. If all the frames aren’t loaded, the
_xscale property of the movie clip instance loader
is increased proportionally to create a progress bar.
if (_framesloaded >= _totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", "start");
} else {
_root.loader._xscale = (_framesloaded/_totalframes)*100;
}

Usage
my_mc.getBounds(targetCoordinateSpace)
Parameters
targetCoordinateSpace
The target path of the Timeline whose coordinate system you want
to use as a reference point.
Returns
An object with the properties xMin, xMax, yMin, and yMax.
Description
Method; returns properties that are the minimum and maximum x and y coordinate values of the
instance specified by
my_mc for the targetCoordinateSpace parameter.
Note: Use MovieClip.localToGlobal() and MovieClip.globalToLocal() to convert the movie clip’s
local coordinates to Stage coordinates, or Stage coordinates to local coordinates, respectively.
Example
In the following example, the object that getBounds() returns is assigned to the identifier
clipBounds. You can then access the values of each property and use them in a script. In this
script, another movie clip instance,
clip2, is placed alongside clip.
clipBounds = clip.getBounds(_root);
clip2._x = clipBounds.xMax;
