Hi, i am having a main.swf which has a movieclip in the form of a window. it’s instance name is window\_mc. this window has an empty movieclip called load\_mc and i am trying to load another swf called login.swf into window\_mc.load\_mc using
window\_mc.load\_mc.loadMovie(“login.swf”);
both main and login swfs are having resolution 1000x780… but wen it is loaded as said above, the texts inside the loaded swf looks very large. the resolution looks as if they are different… please help me on this… i haven’t tried loading movieclips much. but wen i load a swf into an empty movieclip, it wrks perfectly fine…

there are both dynamic and static texts… it’s not text alone…the whole swf seems large…

Did you check the stage size of both swfs?
\*Caveat: it’s been a long time since I’ve worked with flash so I don’t even know if thats an issue anymore but that was something to pay attention to in the old versions.
[edit]I should just make that above statement my signature![/edit] 😛

Are both window\_mc and load\_mc sized to 100% or is one 200% or something?

is the mc empty or have you fiddled with?
if everything is different sized it seems reasonable to think that the container is fiddled:P

window\_mc is having the same size as the loadedswf = 1000x780 …and load\_mc is an empty movieclip of size 0 width and 0 height located at x=y=0.0;
and window\_mc has got other shapes and buttons inside it. is that the prblm? the loaded swf looks almost twice as the original one.

create a temporary external swf with some plain text and load it in the same way - see if it is doing the same thing?
