ActionScript stage browserZoomFactor error

When using this.stage.browserZoomFactor, compilation gives 

Error: Access of possibly undefined property browserZoomFactor 
through a reference with static type flash.display:Stage.

        return this.stage.browserZoomFactor;

Which is unfortunate, as I cannot find any examples online where anyone actually uses browserZoomFactor. Not sure how to go about fixing this issue, but all suggestions are welcome.

Relevant code snippet:

public function getZoomLevelInfo():Number {
        return this.stage.browserZoomFactor;
    }
Solution

  • Unless you're on IE, Windows 8, this feature won't work. Other browsers don't report the browser zoom amount, so that property will not be found. http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2014/09/improved-resolution-of-stage3d-content-on-browser-zoom.html
