Greetings All!
I have a MovieClip on the Stage called special_offer. I am using the following code to change the content of the special_offer MovieClip (this is data from an XML file):
special_offer.loadMovie(xmlData.current.url_prefix.data+xmlData.current.special_offer.data);
Now, what I want the movie clip to do is to resize itself based on the MovieClip above it called square as follows:
special_offer._width = square._width;
My problem is this…
The actual size of the square MC is 238 (that’s what it says in the W property and when I trace it, that’s the value that’s returned). However, when I set the _width value of the special_offer MC to 238 either dynamically (pulling from the square) or manually, the size of the special_offer MC is wider than the square MC…
Why?
The only way I can get the special_offer width to match the size of the square MC is if I hard code in 204 as the ._width.
Please help…
and
Thanks in advance!
