MC's with loaded text, and interdependent _y positions

programming flash
1

Hi,
I have two MC’s both of them with a textfield in it. I am loading text (text1 and text 2) into both of them. For MC1.text1 I use

MC1.text1.autoSize=true;

I am trying to make the _y position of the second MC/text dependent from the ‘height’ or actually the amount of lines/words loaded into the first MC/text. So, the more text that is being loaded into MC1, the higher (or visually lower) the _y position of the second MC should be.

I tried something like

MC2._y = MC1._y + MC1._height + 20;

but this way the empty MC1 is being counted and not the final height (depending on the number of lines/words).

I hope my question is clear!

Thank you again,

Jerryj.
