And yet another problem… I have created a Movie Clip and named it member\_image and have put in the actionscript to load an external Image. that works fine, but i cannot resize that image to fit in the Movie Clip area. The width and Height of “member\_image” is 215 X 160. I am trying to be able to load any image into that area and size it to the same as the movie clip.

Here is my code that i have already :

```php

onClipEvent(load){
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("http://www.mp3profiles.com/a7xbg.jpg", container);
}

```

Thanks in advance!
