Hallo everybody,  
I need to establish size of picture (\*.jpg) loaded in swf file. I used this script for load the picture:

\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(picture, 9876);  
loadMovie(obrazok.jpg, 9876);  
trace(picture.\_width);

but traced number is always 0 however the real size of picture is 256 x 192. How should I change the script for it works?

\_root.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(picture.getBytesLoaded == picture.getBytesTotal && picture.getBytesTotal \> 0){  
trace(picture.\_width);  
}  
}

The code works fine. What do you want to do exactly?

exactly? i want to align about 15 different sized pictured loaded with code:  
for (i=0; i\<87; i++) {  
\_root.group.createEmptyMovieClip(i, i);  
loadMovie(picArray\*, i);  
setProperty(i, \_x, 125\*i);  
setProperty(i, \_y, 0);

}

pictures are good aligned by width because their width is the same. But aligment by height is wrong because it on the top of pic and i want align them on the middle. how can do I this?

You could try something like this, I’m not sure if this would be the best way though.  
[AS]clips = [];  
for (i=0; i\<87; i++) {  
clips\* = group.createEmptyMovieClip(“pic”+i, i);  
clips\*.loadMovie(picArray\*);  
clips\*.\_x = 125_i;  
}  
group.createEmptyMovieClip(“preloader”, 9876);  
// change this value to whatever you need  
group.preloader.ycenter = 100;  
group.preloader.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (clips.length) {  
for (i=0; i\<clips.length; i++) {  
if (clips_.\_width) {  
clips\*.\_y = this.ycenter-clips\*.\_height/2;  
clips.splice(i, 1);  
}  
}  
} else {  
this.removeMovieClip();  
}  
};[/AS]
