When flash calculates _width and _height, it also includes things inside the movieclip which may be invisible, or masked out. Try this simple example: On the stage, create an empty movie clip A which contains two square movieclips B and C, which are placed next to each other
This code will produce the same output 4 times: trace(A._width); A.B._visible = false; trace(A._width); A.C._visible = false; trace(A._width); A._visible = false; trace(A._width); Not sure if this is related exactly to your problem, but I've had issues with _width & _height before, and this is usually the cause. -David R On 7/20/06, Dave Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
