Try using the 'complete' event.

It seems that if an image is loaded into an Image tag at runtime, the size is w=0 h=0, ex. private var imgsrc:String; public function loadImage(val:String):void{ imgsrc = "assets/images/"+val; } private function imgLoaded(e:Event):void{ trace("tw "+this.width); trace("iw "+bImage.width); trace(e.target.width); } ... <mx:Image id="bImage" source="{imgsrc}" complete="imgLoaded(event)" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/> if I call the loadImage function with a image url string, even after the image loads into the Image tag, it returns 0 for the width and height of the Image tag. I tried using a callLater function in the loadImage function, but it gave the same results. Is there a way to get the width and height of an Image tag if it loads in an image at runtime? Thanks Russ
