property
Summary
Reports the amount of disk space taken by an object.
Syntax
get the size of <object>
Description
Use the size property to judge how much memory an object takes when displayed.
The size of an image, EPS object, audio clip, or video clip is is the number of bytes of disk space that the object takes up.
The size property of a stack is always 10000. For stacks, this property is included in LiveCode for compatibility with imported HyperCard stacks and does not report a meaningful value.
The size of an image that has a filename is always empty. To get the true size of such an image, either use the detailed files, or check the length of the file url.
Examples
if the size of image myImage > 20000 then beep
