Hi Laura.  GetProperty("/screen",_height) returns the height of the

movieclip screen (if it's on the main timeline, or use "/window1/screen"

if it's nested in mc window1 on the main timeline).  When you load a

movie into it, that movie does take on the height of the mc, so you're

really finding the height of the mc, not the original height of the

loaded movie (I just tried it, loading a 100x100 movie into a 113x200

mc, and the height returned was 113).  Is that what you were looking

for?
