So I am trying to simply load an image into a MC. It loads but I can’t get it’s attributes.

I have tried using a listener and it loads one of the images (I have two) but I still can’t trace it’s attributes. I am currently, but using loadMovie and it loads both, but still can’t trace height/width…

Code:

```auto

var container:MovieClip = home.createEmptyMovieClip("item"+i,i+1);
        var up:MovieClip = container.createEmptyMovieClip("icon",container.getNextHighestDepth());
        var down:MovieClip = container.createEmptyMovieClip("reflect", container.getNextHighestDepth());
        
        container.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/nodes.length);
        container.onEnterFrame = mover;
        container.count = i+1;
                
        up.loadMovie(nodes*.attributes.image);
        down.loadMovie(nodes*.attributes.image);
        
        up._x = 0;
        up._y = 0;        
        
        down._x = up._x;
        down._y = 300;
        down._yscale *= -1;
        
        gradient(down);

```
