Hi, I have a movieclip that contains TextFields containing XML data, when I trace the height of the MovieClip externally, the original height (before the XML is loaded) is returned.

How can I get the new height of the MovieClip, (I am trying to align the Movieclip vertically to the centre of the stage)?

Thanks.
