I need to know the width of a picture I load into a clip.  
But I always get Zero, while I see the picture properly loaded.  
What Am I doing wrong in this piece of code ?

[AS]\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“contenerMC”,10);  
var imgMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader;  
imgMCL.loadClip(“image001.jpg”,\_root.contenerMC);  
imgMCL.onLoadComplete = function(targetMC) {  
trace(targetMC.\_width);  
}[/AS]

Or any other way to retrieve the picture size at runtime ?
