I found the following thread a great help…

[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51430&highlight=dynamic+resize](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51430&highlight=dynamic+resize)

It has anwered all my questions about loading images dynamically, then resizing etc…However i wanted to add a drop shadow effect to the background box/mc\_container using the ‘soften fill edges’ in the ‘modify’ menu.

I have added the desired effect to the movie clip container which is fine, but when it resizes the drop shadow increases from 10 pixels up to about 30 pixels (depending on the size of the image) and looks pants. I know why its happening because its scaling up the mc\_container but does anyone know what i can do to keep the drop shadow at a consistent size?
