I would like for the users of my interactive piece to be able to click on a button which says, ‘import file’. This would launch the usual windows open file browser window to appear. Then the user could import an image file. This file would load into a holder movie clip and then would stretch or shrink to fit into a size of my choosing, i.e. 400 x 300. Is this possible? I imagine it might be using flash to call some javascript but I could use some advice.:book:

Thanks
