Ok, I am attaching a movie, valled targetx it has a second clip inside it, called holder. I am using loadmovie to load an image or swf into the attachmovies holder clip. But, if I use \*\*trace(targetx.holder.\_width) \*\*to get the loaded clips width I get 0, which is cleary no correct. Why is this?
