I have a test movie that loads an array of images and can access the .\_x and .\_y properties - but I need the height of each image so I can start the text below it. Here’s my code:

```auto

**Frame 1** - is the array of image files "allPics"

**Frame 2:** - loads the array

nCounter = 0;

if (nCounter < allPics.length) {            
    var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container"+nCounter,getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);    
    }

gotoAndPlay(next);

**Frame 3:**

stop();
//test of pic #7

picHolder = mcLoader.loadClip(allPics[7], container);

//these set the image on stage where I want it
container._x = 200;
container._y = 100;

**//this does not work - returns "0"**
trace(getProperty(container,_height));

```

Is there something I can use other than “getProperty”?

Thanks
