FLASH: Get Propery of a MC loaded in a target

[Laura Mollett]

Hi all,


I seem to be having one of those recurring targeting problems or something.

I've loaded a movie into another MC (loaded into target) and I want to be

able to get the height and width of the loaded movie. The movie clip it's

loaded into is called "screen" and the loaded movie is "test.swf". I read on

MMs site that when you load a movie into a clip, it takes on all the

attributes of the clip, including the instance name, but


    GetProperty("window1/screen", _height)

isn't working and neither is

    GetProperty("test.swf", _height)

or

    GetProperty("window1/test.swf", _height)


nor anything else I can think of :) Any ideas? The only other thing I can

think is that it's not possible to access those attributes of a loaded movie

or that flash is not seeing the movie as completely loaded (that action is

in the same script as the one that loads the movie). It seems like it should

work though... I dunno :)


Thanks in advance,

Laura
