From the tutorial “Loading an external image” I learned how to load an image externally using AS3. My question is how do I apply tweens to the image once it is dynamically loaded. I was able to do a simple motion tween but I couldn’t figure out how to stretch it, resize it, or even see the image to make sure the crop works within the design of the page. Any thoughts?
