movie._width not correct why please help

[marcelv]

hi there

i have made a movie with the width of 20px

it is in the libary

i want to attach a few instances of the same movie on stage, for that i need to determ the width because of a correct placement next to eachother.

but

x = theMovie._width; is sometimes 0.6, sometimes 0.7 px bigger then the original

can someone help me in that i really need a correct placement without giving the original width by number manually.

thx in advance

marcelv

sorry about my english

You probably have something running out of the bounds of your movieClip, like a transparent element, part of a text box, or the end of a line. Get rid of it, and _width will work (I use it fairly often).

Hope it helps,

thx for your help but

i checked it and there is nothing around what i could get rid of and the movie is exactly 20px width

thx anyway

cheers

somehow when there is a quad with a line the property inspector doesent count the line, but the actionscript does.

could that be?
