Hi;  
I have loaded an external swf file by this code:  
[AS]  
createEmptyMovieClip(“movie”, 3);  
loadMovie(“star.swf”, “movie”);  
[/AS]

I want to know how to change some properties of this swf? For instance I want to change it’s \_alpha from 100 to 0, or it’s scale.  
Does the solution work for loaded images as well?  
Any help on this, please?
