Hi Guys

I have a full browser flash website. When a menu item is clicked, a photo pops up that does not take up the full browser. This photo (which will have other stuff) is actually an external swf. I would like it to scale to a point, then stop scaling. I’m going to do something like this using swf fit, but was wondering how I can code the as3 for the external swf to achieve something like this:

notice how the slideshow images have a little resize before they do not anymore.  
they move and are fluid, but aren’t scaling all over the place.

any ideas?

thanks :proud:
