Hi,  
We sometimes get swfs at my job that doesn’t match our standard banner width and height. We only have the swfs and not always able to get hold of the \*fla.  
So we want to load the swf into our different standard banner size and show it.

How do I load the swf into a new \*fla that has my standard stage width:995 and stage height: 150? Without distorting the swf to much. Swf could be loading into a MC or loading directly onto stage.  
I tried the loadMovie and loaded the swf into a empty MC. But I can’t set the MCs width and height.
