Hi I am having a big problem with attachbitmap.

I have a movieclip “ **thisLoader** ” and inside is another mc “ **innerMc** ” I am attaching a bitmap to “ **innerMc** ” using attachbitmap.

The problem is after the bitmap is loaded I cannot get the correct width for “ **thisLoader** ” or “ **innerMc** ” they both coming back as 0??? Also I cannot set the width for either mc

I know that the bitmap is in the mc because I can set the alpha to 0 and the image dissapears. Please can anyone help me this is killing me.
