Detail

NOTE: MovieDisplay .NativeHeight and .NativeWidth properties did not return the correct values until 2.0.10.17 or later.

There are .NativeHeight and .NativeWidth properties for SlideMovie, SlideImage, MovieDisplay, and ImageDisplay objects. These read-only properties would allow the user to determine the original dimensions of an image or movie (prior to any stretching or resizing in E-Studio). These properties can only be accessed through E-Basic - they are not visible in the E-Studio's Properties panel. In order to retrive the proper values for MovieDisplay and SlideMovie, the movie must first either be played or the .Load function must be called.

For further information on scripting using E-Basic, please refer to the E-Prime Command Reference (https://pstnet.com/ecr).
