Hi,

I have tried many things but when i load my external jpg inside a MC (thru the use of a MovieCliploader which then load the jpg inside that MC in an empty MC).  
I have put my code in the onLoadInit() and did something like

MC.\_width = target.\_width;

My MC has a specified width and height in the library. is it because of that or should i put it smaller.
