William, It is possible that your trace is done while your load is not. Because Flash is a-synchroon.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of William Adams Sent: vrijdag 12 december 2008 20:27 To: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] getting the width of a movieclip Given the code: var firstImage:Loader = new Loader(); var empty_mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip(); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); addChild(empty_mc); url = new URLRequest("test.jpg"); firstImage.load(url); firstImage.x = 10; firstImage.y = 10; empty_mc.addChild(firstImage); why does trace (empty_mc.width); yield 0? and what do I have to do to get the image centered along the lines of: empty_mc.x = 70-(empty_mc.width/2); Thanks!
