mx:Image is the component that loads the image as a child and not the image itself.
"complete" is fired when all the bytes of the image are downloaded. You see complete, then the Image wrapper does and adjusts its size. An updateComplete will be dispatched when it is sized. Different layout issues could cause some shifting over subsequent frames. The actual size of the image is in content.loaderInfo.width/height and shoule be available on complete. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Derrick Grigg Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 1:43 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Complete event from mx:Image Does anyone know why the mx:Image fires the complete event before the image has been completely loaded? I have the following code private function photoComplete(event:Event):void { trace (photo_img.width + ' ' + photo_img.height); } <mx:Image id="photo_img" complete="photoComplete(event)"/> When the photoComplete gets called the width and height are traced out as '0'. What I had to do was add a little logic snippet to say if the width and height are '0' do a callLater, and call back to the photoComplete again, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 callbacks for the size to register. Any idea why? I would think that when the 'complete' gets fired the mx:Image should know the size of the picture it has loaded. Derrick
