Finding height of Dynamic text box after autosize

programming flash
1

Hi,

I’m working on an A.S 2 that loads chunks of text from an xml file and places them in different dynamic text boxes. The amount of text in each section differs but each one has to appear one after the other regardless of the size. At the minute I’m trying to position the second one beneath the first by making its y value 10 + the height of the first one. however the height that i keep getting is the original one and not the re-sized one. Has anyone come across a similar problem or know a workaround?

Hope im making sense.

Thanks in advance

My code is

Africadetails.autoSize = true;
Africaname.autoSize = true;

Africadetails._y = (Africaname._y) + (Africaname._height) + (10);
AfricaURL._y = (Africadetails._y) + (Africadetails._height) + (10);
