Properties of a loaded movie? (i'm in a hurry!)

1

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust the size (width*height) of a externally loaded movie?

I need help quick, need to be finished soon!! :hangover:

Are you loading it into an empty movie clip or onto a level?

Well then you can just adjust the properties of the empty MC once the external swf is loaded. So if your empty MC is called, say, holder, then it’s just


holder._width = 100;
holder._height = 250;
holder._xscale = 125
holder._yscale = 175;

etc.

If your external swf is large in size then you’ll have to make sure that it is loaded completely before you resize the holder clip. You can do this by using th code you find in the preloader tutorials, or do a search on the forums as this has come up a bunch of times before.
