Hello people,  
I’m new to the forum and want to extend greetings.

I have a problem, and I know I am overlooking the obvious so I am prepared to slap myself afterwards.  
I am loading swf A into a mc within swf B.

loadMovie(dir/A.swf,target\_mc);

How do I constrain the width of A so it is its’ normal size?  
It wants to span the width of swf B.

I tried adding “\_width=470” but my syntax is not right and/or working.

I am using Pro 8

Any help will be greatly appreciated!  
Thanks ahead of time,
