Hello,

I have a problem and thought maybe you can help me.

hare is the line I use to load image to movie clip IMG:

```auto
IMG.loadMovie("photoz/"+LPIC[DAIKTYNAS[preinuse]**]);

```

naw I have to get img size:

```auto

_root.imgheight = ????
_root.imgwidth = ????

```

```
                                                          DERIL

I think  
imgwidth =IMG.width;  
imgheight = IMG.height;  
img+width/height are just some variables that’s values are the width and height…  
should be as simple as that…

Try

imgwidth =IMG.\_width;  
imgheight = IMG.\_height;

The \_ makes all the difference.

Also, an images size registers as 0x0 until it is fully loaded.

hm… I found my mistake.

my code was…

IMG.loadMovie(“photoz/”+LPIC[DAIKTYNAS[preinuse]\*\*]);]  
\_root.imgheight = \_root.IMG.\_width;  
\_root.imgwidth = \_root.IMG.\_height;

but \_width returns empty, becos image is not loaded jet… you have to wait till it will load and then detect size…

thanks for help.

GL.

Oh ok, so I stated it loaded 0x0 instead of empty… oops, sorry :-\

Well glad you solved it 🙂
