How do I get the width of bitmap using createJS? - html

Question

How do I get the width of a bitmap image in createJS? I need it to change only the width of the image to calculate the scaleX value. By the way, Is there any direct way to change the image width or do I need to use the scaleX property?
Every image is preloaded using preloadJS in the library.
piecesArray[0].val = Math.floor(Math.random() * 50)
piecesArray[0].sym = new lib["a"+ piecesArray[0].val]()
model = new createjs.Bitmap(piecesArray[0].sym);
(function to change width)
stage.addChild(model.image)
I've searched all the variables of model using the console and there is no getBounds(), nor width, nor height, nor nominalBounds...
P.S. This what happens when I test it using the console
model = new createjs.Bitmap(new lib["c"+ 1]());
a {_listeners: null, _captureListeners: null, alpha: 1, cacheCanvas: null, cacheID: 0…}
console.log(model.image)
VM281:2 lib.c1 {spriteSheet: a, paused: true, currentAnimationFrame: 0, _animation: null, currentAnimation: null…}
undefined
console.log(model.image.width)
VM282:2 undefined
undefined

Answer 1

You can get the size of the image via bitmap.image.width, so in your code it would be model.image.width. And no, there is no direct way to set the width of a bitmap - you have to set it via scaleX/scaleY.

Solved it by re-sizing before creating the Bitmap. I think the reason I couldn't get the width value was because the image comes from a spritesheet.
piecesArray[0].sym.scaleX = 232/piecesArray[0].sym.getBounds().width
piecesArray[0].sym.scaleY = 150/piecesArray[0].sym.getBounds().height
model = new createjs.Bitmap(piecesArray[0].sym);
