Doesn't MovieClipLoader remove the necessity of this approach if you hook into onLoadInit()? I believe that onLoadInit() is only fired when the loaded image/swf's properties are available.

The player needs a moment not only to load the entire image, but also to parse/convert/love the file and display it in Flash. It shouldn't take a full second for this happen, but can take anywhere from one to a few frames (depends on image size, number of images, etc). Simply write a basic loop, based on holderClip._width, that loops until the width is no longer 0. This should be a separate loop/test from .getBytesTotal since you want to be sure its actually fully loaded first before you lock up your app in this kind of loop. -radley On Dec 8, 2005, at 9:42 AM, Mike Boutin wrote: > Can anyone tell me why when I call the displayImage() function after I > fully loaded, and try to get the _width and _height of holderClip, it > comes back as zero.
