how to get swf/image width/height with javascript

[Mike Kypriotis]

in php with getimagesize() for both img and swf worked well,in javascript?
PS I do not want to first load it and then use its id as a reference object, I want to know because I need to know in order to display it, (so use say the relative path as an argument to whatever works)

you can’t determine an image’s size without downloading it. You may of course load it in the background without attaching it to the document tree.

To get the size of the image you can then use the naturalWidth/naturalHeight property of the image object, although that is not supported in every browser.

height/width properties also work, problem is I want to do the same with swf files and do not work for images I use

var img = new Image();

is there something more generic than Image() like object() which can accept swf?

[Dormilich]

If I remeber right, an SWF file is used with the <object> tag, i.e. document.create Element("object ");

[Mike Kypriotis]

in the new Image() way of thinking tried

var a=document.createElement("object"); 
a.src="test.swf";
var height = a.height;
var width = a.width;
alert ('The swf size is '+width+'*'+height);

hoping that once the src was set I could retrieve the dimension but didn't worked

obviously, the <object> element does not have a src attribute (an <object>’s source is defined in one of its <param> child elements)
