Hi,

I am having trouble trying to retrieve properties for a container\_mc that dynamically creates content upon loading. The container\_mc is creating text boxes from an array and so its \_height is dependant on the array.length.

So how do I do this without getting 0:

```auto

//after loading
trace(container_mc._width);

```

Help is much appreciated. Thanks
