These 2 attributes drive me crazy. Really:

var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();  
mc.x=10;  
mc.y=20;  
mc.height=100;  
mc.width=200;  
addChild(mc);  
trace(all the parameters) traces x and y correct, but not height and width, i can’t imagine why and of course google offered me a help, which was useless cause no solution was found. I would be really happy to know why 🙂
