Hello all,

I am creating a photo gallery but i have to resize my loaded images into a certain size after loading them into an empty movie clip on stage.

I am resizing my images now through multiplying the \_xscale and \_yscale of the empty movie clip after loading the image by a certain coefficient, but this implies that i have to know the loaded image size before knowing the right coefficient to use.

Is their anyway to get the \_width and \_height of the loaded image or the empty movie clip after loading the image into it, since i am getting a 0 for \_height and \_width for empty movie clip before and after loading the image.

Thanks

try this:

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
	var i, l, t;
	l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
	t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
	if (t>0 && t == l) {
		**trace(this.photo._width);
		trace(this.photo._height);**
		this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
	} else {
		trace(l/t);
	}
}

```

😉 =)

Thanks for your help

But the returned value is still 0 before and after loading the image into the movie clip for the \_height and \_width

Before, yes, after, no. Kax’s code works perfectly 🙂
