Image Scaling

Of course Ive been through the famous dynamic image resize gallery, however…

I find it hard to believe there is not a simple way of controlling the width and height of an image loaded into a movieclip. I don’t need an animation of it, I just need it to scale.

Could please explain to me why this does not work.


file = "image100430.jpg";
loadMovie(file, "holder");
file._width = 150;
file._height = 150;

Thanks
