Video class props not recognised

Question

I am building a video player using AS2 and publishing for V7.
I have a video object (which is strong typed as Video in my
classes) on the stage and am using NetStream and NetConnection to
play an external FLV through it. I have also built a progress bar
and in order to make this as reusable as possible I want it to set
itself to the width of the video object and this is where my
problem arises.
If I call videoObj.width it returns 0 and as I need the video
object width not the encoded FLV width this would not do anyway.
If I call videoObj._width I get back the correct width but I
also get the error message "There is no property with the name
'_width'. This is also the case with _x, _y, _alpha etc. I can get
and set the properties but I always get this error despite them
being listed as properties of the Video class.

As the error does not seem to impact the way things actually
work I could just ignore it but I would like to understand whats
going on here so... any thoughts?

Cheers all

Just found a possibly related issue.In my ProgressBar class I reference a clip with a subclipcalled handle and get it to call a method of ProgressBar:clip.handle,onEnterFrame = updateHandle;the method is defined like this:private function updateHandle():Void{ this._x += 1;}This runs fine as 'this' refers to clip.handle but thecompiler looks for _x within the class ProgressBar and when itdoesnt find it it throws the error. If i define _x in the class theerror is gone:private var _x:Number;//This is never used. It is here tostop a compile time error.I havnt managed to clear my original error like this yet butit seems to be the same type of thing.
