Hi there,

I have the following problem I can’t seem to find a solution for: I read a list of images from an external XML file and I would like to dynamically extract the size information for each image so I can resize the movieclip to just fit each image. Of course I an put the image size in the XML file as well but I’m sure there is a way to calculate it at run-time. Did somebody know how to do it?

Many thanks in advance for your help!
