Problems with ._height with dynamicly loaded images

[JorisRotteveel]

Hi guys/gals!

I am looking for a way to get the height of an image. Normally I would use this._height. But the problem is that I load my iamges from an xml file. this._height now gives Undefined so the rest of my actionscript is worthless.

Can anybody help me here? Looks easy...the height of an image...But i can't get it right

it's pretty urgent...needs to be fixed today!

THANX!

Make sure the images are loaded before you get the height of the images.

and how can this be done??

We worked something out: looks like this:



mag_bewegen = false;
image_mcl.unloadClip(picture);
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(picture:MovieClip) {
trace(picture._name+" = "+picture._width+" X "+picture._height+" pixels");
picture._y = 135;
hoogteplaatje = picture._height;
startplaatje = picture._y;
eindeplaatje = (picture._y-hoogteplaatje)+140;//130 is de hoogte van de mask
mag_bewegen = true;
