Hi

I have an external movie clip, which I am loading using loadMovie(“movieurl”, “GET”);

The following code is in the first frame of the clip that contains the holder clip. The loaded clip reads vars 1-3, but I have no idea how to set the width or height, or why it doesn’t just default to the size of the clip being loaded.

Does anyone have any ideas?

```auto

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    var myDomain = "http://www.url.com";
    this.var1="#CC0000";
    this.var2=30;
    this.var3=1;
    this.width = 110;
    this.height = 25;
    System.security.allowDomain(myDomain);
    //ticker_bingo20.loadMovie(myDomain + "/clip.swf", "GET");
    holder._width = 110;
    holder._height = 25;
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

```
