Determining width of loaded clip

Guest Apr 19, 2007 9:31 PM

Hi all,
Is there a way I can get and set the width and height of a loaded movie clip? I have created an empty movie, and then loaded a small swf file into the empty movie with loadClip. I now want to determine the width and height of this loaded clip, and scale it to the size of my movie dimensions. Can this be done? Although the movie loads fine, and I can position its x and y coordinates, the width and height show as zero.

Can anyone help me with this one? I'm using Flash Professional 8.

Thanks,
brayne

you must wait until loading is complete to access the loaded swf's _width and _height. and then you'll see the _width and _height of the on-stage objects in the first frame if you access those properties as soon as the swf is initialized.
