I have an external swf that loads into my main movie using loadMovie. The original .swf that is being loaded is larger than what I’d like to appear in the main movie. Is it possible to tell the movie clip that the external is being loaded into, to reduce the size of the loaded .swf?

any input???

note:  
I tried a  
scaleContent = true;

but nothing happened.
