Hi

I would like to know how I can modify the size properties of an image that is loaded in a movie clip with Loader()  
In my example, if I change the width and height properties of the movieclip in which the image is loaded, the image can’t be seen anymore  
If I don’t modify the width and height properties, then the image can be seen  
What should I modify in my code so that I can change the size properties and still have my image on the scene?

Here is my code

```auto
var imgLoader:Loader = new Loader();
            
var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest('model.jpg');
        
var imgDisplay:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
imgLoader.load(image);
imgDisplay.addChild(imgLoader);

// if I change width or height, 
// the image can't be seen, why?
imgDisplay.width = 50;  
imgDisplay.height = 50; 

addChild(imgDisplay);

```

many thanks for your help
