hey guys,

the titles pretty much says it all;  
im loading photos of different aspect ratios with a loader onto a child holder frame\_mc. I wanted to know what AS3 commands do i need to work on to get the frame\_mc to resize to the new childs dimensions and centerize itself on the main stage? (as in event listeners, functions, vars etc)

cheers for any thoughts
