Re: [Flashcoders] tracing height

you should look at movieClipLoader (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=1998.html
)

this allows you to add listeners to the loader (in your case, you should use
onLoadInit) to fire a method/function

there's an example of some code if you look at the onLoadInit link
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=1998.html

Hi Theodore,

There might be better ways than what I am using, but this works. For 
each image I create a new movieclip which onEnterFrame resizes the 
target loadMovie image to a set size, and then removes itself so it 
doesn't keep working needlessly.


This is cut and pasted from a project where images are sourced from XML, 
so it might have some extraneous ...



  mrand=Math.round(Math.random()*3000);
tname='img'+mrand;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(tname, imagedepth); imagedepth++;
_root['img'+mrand].createEmptyMovieClip('md', imagedepth);
_root['img'+mrand].md.loadMovie(images.childNodes[i].attributes['imgloc']);
_root['img'+mrand]._x=images.childNodes[i].attributes['x'];
_root['img'+mrand]._y=images.childNodes[i].attributes['y'];
trace(images.childNodes[i].attributes['imgloc']);

// image sizer
mrand=Math.round(Math.random()*3000);
sizer=tname+'sizer'+mrand; imagedepth++;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(sizer, imagedepth); imagedepth++;

Ok - so I have tried the following:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(img_mc, 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
status:Number):Void {
trace(onLoadComplete:  + target_mc);
};

my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);

my_mcl.loadClip(http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg;,
img_mc);

and while the clip loads I am not getting a trace... that's really what
I need

Theodore, you code is almost right, you forgot only create the object that
will be used as listener.
Before set the onLoadComplete, add a line with:
mclListener = {};

And you'll have your working code.

I suggest you use onLoadInit instead onLoadComplete, because onLoadInit is
dispatched after content was fully loaded and initialized.

Gabino, use this code and you'll be able to get the dimensions of your
loaded movie as soon image is loaded.

Best,
