Hey eddepet,  
Well, you can resize the movie clip that the pictures are contained in. By scaling the movie clip, you, in effect, re-scale the pictures as well.

```php
//sets the movieclip's scale x and y scale to 50%
_root.movieClipName._xscale = 50;
_root.movieClipName._yscale = 50;

```

The above code should help to get you started. How were you planning on having the movieclip resized anyway? by a click of a button? by an action in a frame?

Cheers!

You have to wait until the image is completely loaded before you can resize it though. So careful with that.
