Some images I load dynamically are too big so I would like to scale them to fit the stage.

```auto

var imgCont:MovieClip = _root.mcHolder;

var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

var mcListener:Object = new Object;

mcLoader.addListener(mcListener);

mcLoader.loadClip("test.jpg",imgCont);

mcListener.onLoadComplete = function(){
    trace(imgCont._width);
}

```

this returns 0.  
Why does it return 0 when the image loaded is obviously much larger then 0 pixels.

How do I change the width and height of imgCont to a specified dimension.
