I am doing a simple loadmovie, bringing an external swf into a holder clip that is empty.  
here is my code. I have it placed on frame one INSIDE the holder clip:

```php
_root.pages.weddingholder.loadMovie("wedding_section.swf",this);

```

The external movie loads, but the issue is HOW it loads. The swf is 643x394 and looks fantastic by itself. When it is loaded into the holder clip though, it scales it and makes it much taller and wider than the actual external SWf is, and is messing the way it looks up.  
What is going on?

please help
