Hi there!

Here is my problem (unfortunatelly didn’t find solution @google or in this forum):

I’m loading external swf[AS2] into main swf[AS3] using Loader class.  
The main swf is 800 x 600 and the external swf is 290 x 247.

After adding the external swf to the main swf the external swf expands (scale to) from 290 x 247 to the main swf’s size: 800 x 600.

How can i prevent this? I want the loaded swf to save it’s original stage size.
