so im loading in an external swf and the thing decides it wants to shrink and be about 3/4 size when loaded, which is, needless to say, unacceptable. i’m just using  
bulletin.loadMovie(“bulletin.swf”);  
anyone know whats goin on?  
thanks

Are you sure you weren’t viewing the external swf at 120% or something like that when creating it ? If so, it might look smaller when loaded into another mc.

Also, did you change the \_width, \_height, \_xscale or \_yscale properties of the movieclip that it loads in ?
