Hi all,

I am trying to develop a website using flash 8 and I would like to dynamically resize a movie which acts as a background for the loaded content. Some content inside the movie is static. Imagine having two rectangles, one larger than the other and encapsulating it. I want the larger one to be able to resize to whatever size without affecting the size of the smaller one embedded in it.

Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing that?

Thanks,  
Walter
