the effective width of a stack?

[Bob Sneidar]

The effective keyword can be used with the following inherited properties :

	• backgroundColor property
	• backgroundPattern property
	• backgroundPixel property
	• bottomColor property
	• bottomPattern property
	• bottomPixel property
	• focusColor property
	• focusPattern property
	• focusPixel property
	• foregroundColor property
	• foregroundPattern property
	• foregroundPixel property
	• hiliteColor property
	• hilitePattern property
	• hilitePixel property
	• topColor property
	• topPattern property
	• topPixel property
	• shadowColor property
	• shadowPattern property
	• shadowPixel property
	• textFont property
	• textHeight property
	• textSize property
	• textStyle property
	• filename of stack property
	• rectangle property
	• layerMode property

I don't see "width" there. You have to use rect then do the math.
