I loaded an external images. It shows ok, but I can’t resize the image… Here’s my code, please help!

```auto
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("fotonews", 2);
	loadMovie("../news_picture/images/001.jpg", "fotonews");
	fotonews._x = 35 ;
	fotonews._y = 38 ;	
	fotonews._width = 188 ;
	fotonews._height = 145 ;

```

Thanks in advance!
