Attached are my FLA, xml, and jpeg.

I thought this code should work to resize the size of the movieclip thus the picture would appear that size, alas it doesn’t. When it loads a picture bigger than 220x220 the sizing goes nuts and extends one way forever and one way realy small.

Focusing on

if (hor \> 220) {  
targetClip.\_width = hor;  
}  
if (vert \> 220) {  
targetClip.\_height = vert;  
}  
while (targetClip.\_width \> 220) {  
targetClip.\_width = targetClip.\_width - 10;  
targetClip.\_height = targetClip.\_height - 10;  
}  
while (targetClip.\_height \> 220) {  
targetClip.\_width = targetClip.\_width - 10;  
targetClip.\_height = targetClip.\_height - 10;  
}

Any reason why this doesn’t work or a solution to my problem would be REALLY appreciated. I appologize if this has been solved elsewhere, I couldn’t find it.
