Flash CC Pro/CreateJS: Width and height of movieclips

I am currently trying out Flash CC Pro and the HTML5 Canvas publishing option.

One odd thing is not being able to access the height and width of the movie clips.

With the help of a stackoverflow post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29768424/how-to-get-width-height-of-a-movie-clip-in-createjs), I came across 'nominal bounds'. Couldn't find it in any of the documentation, it doesn't appear as one of the coding hints in the flash program either. Oh well.

I found that movieClip.nominalBounds gave me back an object that contained the original x, y, width and height of the unaltered movie clip. But on the stage, mine was a bit stretch and squashed, so I used

movieClip.nominalBounds.height * movieClip.scaleY

and this gave me the actual height. Ditto for the width.

Apparently the various bounds properties and functions vary depending on the exact type of object, but this worked for my movie clip.
