Hello.

I am using the loader component to dynamically load images (I am developing in the “Flash Form Application” mode).

When the application loads, the images often times appear in their original size, and not scaled to specified size. This happens randomly - sometimes they are scaled to the size I specify, but sometimes they load at their original size.

How do I ensure that the images are scaled ‘EVERYTIME’?

I am not that advanced, so if you could provide a code sample, I would be most thankful.

Scale them after they’re fully loaded;)

Hi  
This works for me.  
Create 2 clips. 1 on your stage, scaled as you want the final size. The other is just a blank movieclip, which you will load the image into.  
Load your image into the blank movie clip and then attach that into the movieclip onstage.
