Image size..

you're welcome.

thanks kglad , u r true

you must use preloader code or the onLoadInit() method of a moviecliploader listener to ensure your image has completely loaded before trying to access its _width and _height.

using different frames for code is very poor coding for a number of reasons.

Dear Headful,
i think that u have a slow connection , so please try these options ,

One :
replace the image url by a image in ur hard disk ("images/test.jpg") or ("test.jpg")

Two :
instead frame 3 make it 20 if option one dosent work

it still gives me the value of 0..

create a new file , in frame # 1 put this action then F5 in frame # 3 :

// Creates a movie clip to hold the container.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc",9);
// Loads an image into image_mc.
image_mc.loadMovie(" http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg");
image_mc._x = 75;
image_mc._y = 60;

and in new layer click F6 on frame # 3 and put this action :

stop();
trace("W: " + image_mc._width + " H: " + image_mc._height);

Not without loading the image in, or using a server-side script.
