Hey guyz! its me again.

I have a little problem regarding resizing in flash. I dont know if it is possible in Flash MX, since the image size is too large to fit in to my target MC, say 800x600 px pic, loaded into an MC which has a size of 160x130 px.

## MY PROBLEM:

in my MC, i want to load an image (pic1.jpg [800x600 px])

```
   *loadMovie("pic1.jpg","holder")*

```

it loads into the holder MC(_instance name_), but in the end resizes the MC which destroys my design.

All i wanted is to load an image into a _“holder”_ MC which is located at the root, without resizing it. Say, if an image is 800x600 px, will resize depending on the MC where it is loaded. From 800x600 px to 160x130 px.

is it possible?

plz help

```auto

loadMovie("pic1.jpg", "holder");
holder._width = 160;
holder._height = 130;

```

should work.

Hey Yeldarb!

that only resized the holder itself not the image/movie that is loaded in it. plz try to review my post, i mean there is to resize the image that is loaded in the “holder” mc.

holder.\_width = something…didn’t resize the image’s width inside but the holder itself, so with \_height.

Eventhough the “holder” is to large to accomodate the small image that was loaded, the image wouldn’t resize depending on its holder MC.

plz, anyone??

thanks,
