flash - AS3: get browser window size?

Question

Can I get the obtain the size of the browser window in AS3?

The best method I've found is to get the size with Javascript and send it to Flash as a FlashVar. One limitation of this method is that it doesn't give the current size if the window is resized.

Is there a pure Flash way to do this?

If you embedd your swf with height: 100%; width:100% you could use stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight. If this is not the case you could implement a communication with JavaScript by using ExternalInterface.
