on (release) {  
\_root.MenuL.loadMovie(“homem.swf”);  
}

See that little code nugget up there? I’m trying to use that to load a separate movie file (yeah, homem.swf) into a movie clip I have placed on the stage of indexnav.swf. It works fine and dandy but… when it loads into the movie clip, it appears to be zoomed in by 400% which really isn’t what I’m aiming for here…

Just looking for a little help, if you need to look at the swf files in question just lemme know and I’ll give ya links…

I have no idea why that’s zoomed like that but try this:  
\_root.menuL.\_xscale = 25;  
\_root.menuL.\_yscale = 25;  
That just makes the scale of it 4 times less…
