How to check width of loaded image

Question

Hi my script loads an image like this:
        image = new Sprite();
        imageLoader = new Loader;
        imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(imageList.image[1].imgURL));
        image.addChildAt(imageLoader, 0);
how can i check the width of loaded image? trace(image.width) gives 0...

You need to wait until the image is loaded before you can try to ffind its width.  To do that you need to use the contentLoaderInfo property of the Loader class
imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, manageImage);
The manageImage event handler function is where you can check things since it is triggered after the object is loaded.
