Display External Image to .swf With Resizing?

programming flash
1

Using AS2 and Flash 8…

I’m currently looking for a way to display a image file that is outside of the .swf in my Flash program, including a way to resize it.

I just looked through the options of using the Loader component with the .contentPath function. Even though this method displays the image perfectly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to resize the Loader.
Here’s my code for this strategy if it helps:


image_number = 0;
initialization={autoLoad:true,contentPath:"",scaleContent:true};
image_number++;
current_mc_depth++;
_root.attachMovie("Loader", "image"+image_number, current_mc_depth, initialization);
_root["image"+image_number].contentPath = "banner.jpg";

This basically dynamically creates the “Loader” component with all of it’s settings initialized. Then, using .contentPath, it displays my “banner.jpg” which is in the same directory as my .swf file.

Now I’m looking for a way to resize the thing.

Thanks for your help!
