Yo

Basically, I’ve got a slew of SWFs that are responsible for loading some content dynamically. Then these SWFs are loaded into my main movie. The problem I’m encountering is if the loaded SWF’s content is larger than its stage size it gets cut off when being loaded into the main movie. Is there any way I can get my loaded SWFs to be dynamically large enough to not cut off any information?

Help is always appreciated more than you can imagine.

one way, is to make a container movie that’s large enough to  
house the larger content. I don’t believe you can dynamically  
change the stage size from movie to movie.

Thanks for replying Unflux.

A lot of the content is loaded by persons other than me so I just gotta come up with a way to control it. Maybe I’ll only display a handful of database entries at a time and just tack on that oh-so-common “Next 10” or howevermany button.

I suppose I could make the content load dynamically into the main movie and not even have to worry about it…ugh, so much for my nifty preloader 🙂

Thanks again, flux.
