how to get size of imported jpeg?

[marvinklein]

i use this code to import a picture to the stage:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("jpg", 0);
jpg.loadMovie("images/1.jpg");

i can see the picture on the stage after the code executes, but why is jpg._width always = 0?

thanks.

Try checking it after is has been loaded.

code:

---

onEnterFrame=function(){

bytesTot = _root.jpg.getBytesTotal()

bytesLoad = _root.jpg.getBytesLoaded()

if(bytesLoad == bytesTot){

trace(jpg._width)

}

}
