Well we tried to help but I think we need more info. Give us more details...like the vers of player you are targeting, etc. I set the fla (the one I made available) to publish to FP6 & FP6 AS1 and adjusted the code so it wasn't stronly typed and it still works. Maybe you are over looking something simple. Is the textField you are trying to get the height prop from created dynamically?
