hi everybody,

i have:

- a flash movie with 300x20px dimensions
- a dynamic textfield
- xml data parsed into the textfield

now i’m trying to scale the height of the movie/stage to the height of the textfield after the xmldata was parsed in. but i can’t figure out, how to :ne:

i’ve tried stage.\_height = textField.\_height. _don’t laugh_ :sigh:

could anyone give me a hint?

regards
