</div>

this is my code:

```auto

function resizepic() {
	container._alpha = 0;
	totalw = container._width;
	totalh = container._height;
	maxw = 378;
	maxh = 284;
	if (totalw>totalh) {
		factorw = (maxw/totalw);
		container._width = maxw;
		container._height = factorw*totalh;
		container._x = _root.xpos+(((maxw)-container._width)/2);
		container._y = _root.ypos+(((maxh)-container._height)/2);
	}
	if (totalh>totalb) {
		factorh = (maxh/container._height);
		container._height = maxh;
		container._width = factorh*totalw;
		container._x = _root.xpos+(((maxw)-container._width)/2);
		container._y = _root.ypos+(((maxh)-container._height)/2);
	}
	container._alpha = 100;
}

```

but the problem is that when a pic is 400 \* 398 you get this:  
totalw\>totalh (400\>398)  
factorw = 378/400 = 0.945  
container.\_width = 378  
container.\_height = 0.945\*398 = 376.11

as you see the container.\_height is bigger than the maxh (maximum height) but the \_width is just fine… how do i fix this problem??

thanks for helping 😃
