Seeing as I didn’t read the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING note, i thought i would do this thread right, even though it is a repeat of what I just posted.
Basically i am trying to dynamically load a set of images of various sizes, each followed by a set of dynamic text. To do this i want to load an image find its height and then stick the textbox underneath it, then load next image with another textbox underneath that, etc (image, text, image2, text2)
Everyone knows how to load and image but I can’t find anyone who knows how get the height of this image within the same frame. My only guess at attempting this is to setup a function that makes sure the image is loaded into the target movieclip before the actionscript tries to find the height of that movieclip. This type of loading would work amazing for dynamic content requiring text and images that had to be loaded from a server and arranged in flash, where the sizes of the images were not a fixed size.
Let me know if anyone can figure this really annoying problem of mine that I have been scouring the internet to figure out and can’t seem to accomplish.
