Thanks Matt,
I understand I can work out the height manually but I'm trying to write a
function into the main stage that can read the height of any child swf. The
names and locations may vary so its not that attractive of a solution.
There has to be some way of reading the bounds. Like in as2, if you create
an empty movieclip, then attach another 20x20 clip to it at a y of 10, that
new movieclips height comes back as 30. I'll be seriously pissed to find out
adobe dropped yet another useful feature with as3.
