I’m loading a movie into a mc instance. The problem is that when I load a movie in… it changes size. The clip I am loading into is about 100x100. The swf I’m loading in is about ~400x400.

I’ve tried to set the \_width & \_height to 100 after I load the clip. The only thing that seems to affect it is \_xscale and \_yscale. I would like to see the swf loaded in to the mc and be an exact size. Does anyone know how this could be done? :ub:

Thx in adv.

Change the size of the external swf to be 100 x 100?
