I am trying to do what I thought was a easy task : I have several pictures (different size, height/width) converted into swf format. I have a viewer application (swf too) that can load one of those swf picture on demand (like a picture album) I created an empty movieclip (container\_mc), I set his dimensions to 100x100 (I do not want my pictures to be larger than that). Then I use loadmovie(“mypicture.swf”, “container\_mc”); The problem is that : 1 - The container\_mc is resized, and may be larger than 100x100 2 - I want to resize it to 100x100, but when setting container\_mc.\_width = 100 and container\_mc.\_height=100 I get strange results =\> the size is modified, but not really i 100x100 pixels. Finally, I think that If I found an application sample in MX ActionScript that browse a directory and display thumbnails (in fixed size !) of various pictures (of different sizes !) I would be happy 🙂 In fact, if Kirupa could modify his code to load swf files of different size in his photogallery sample, it would be… great ! Thanx for your help Tom
