Spirte Size Unknown?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a limitation of the engine.

Link to .capx file (required!):

dropbox.com/s/b0zhnt8z5h314zm/spriteWidth.capx

Steps to reproduce:

1. In a Repeat loop, create an Sprite not present on the layout.

2. Set the X or Y to Sprite.Width(or Height)*loopindex

Observed result:

All the Sprites are on top of each other

Expected result:

They should be spread, as it happens when there's already a Sprite on the layout.

Hi,

Create the sprite at design time to ensure the width is available for the engine; otherwise, try waiting until the next tick, when all created sprites are available for the engine.

Closing as not a bug. CJK is right, you need an instance in the layout for it to work; if no instances exist, all the object's expressions return 0.
