i have a GIF and i want it to be loaded dymanicly from XML with

```auto
loadMovie("url", loader_MC);

```

_there are 2 issues:  
 [LIST]  
[]the GIF isn’t playing. my GIF has 4 stages (frames) but when loaded, it stays only on the first one. i need the GIF loaded and begin looping all 4 frames… what’s happeing ?[/LIST][LIST]  
[_]i want the loader\_MC to be resized everytime i resize my Stage. i did this:[/LIST]

```auto
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
myListener.onResize = function () {
   loader_MC._width = Stage.width;
   loader_MC._height = Stage.height;};
Stage.addListener (myListener);

```

The GIF appears distorted, turned upside down and the \_x axis very wrong and out of page… what’s happening, again?

thanks a lot
