Okay, maybe this has been posted a number of times, but i still have not found something that interests me. I’m a noob at Flash. Started it ~3years ago…AS2 and all. Then hit a pause of about an year and now I want to try AS3. But I’m stuck with this:

I have a movieclip (container) in which I would like to add a external flash (DNA.swf). I managed to add it to the global scene, but I want the .swf to be scaled to the -container-'s size (350 x 262.4) {1024x768 multiple :pleased:}.

And I have no ideea on how to do that. I don’t even know how I could access my imported .swf in code

(as I would with container.visible or something.)

Hope someone will answer me ^^
