Ok so basicaly what I want to do is load in an external swf onto the stage which is 1024x768, above all existing items (so preferably into an existing container mc) but set the loaded swf’s width/height so that it fits into a pre-determined space of 700x400, even though the loaded SWF is larger.
The stage of the SWF being loaded in is 700x400, which as stated above is the desired size, but objects within it are larger than it’s stage for purposes of the animation. This means that when you load the SWF onto your current stage with the normal loadMovie(“xxx.swf”,“container”) you wind up seing parts of the object that would normaly be outside the 700x400 stage if you were to view the SWF on it’s own, obviously resulting in an ugly movie clip.
I could cover up those parts with extra layers, but the majority of the primary stage is transparent so this isn’t really an option.
So, is there a way to load an external SWF but only display the actual stage of that SWF, or set the width/height to mimmick the same sort of thing?
