The real movie clip size?

1

i have a movie clip on the main timeline… inside that clip is an image… about ~1MB in size…

when i add this code to the mc:

 
trace(this.getBytesTotal());

then flash shows that the size is 4… how to get the real size of the movieclip ?
i cannot use trace(_root.getBytesTotal()); because i want only the movie clip size… not the size of the entire *.swf file

4 is the size of a movieclip without anything in it. You need to make sure the image has loaded or wait for in whatever way recognized that the image is being recognized as being part of the clip itself.
