I have a slideshow that loads external jpg’s but i need them to fit the mc holder i made. can I get Flash to automatically resize the external jpgs?  
Here is my code for the slideshow:

var x:XML = new XML();  
x.ignoreWhite = true;

var urls:Array = new Array();  
var captions:Array = new Array();  
var whoIsOn:Number;

x.onLoad = function(success) {  
var photos:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;  
for(i=0;i\<photos.length;i++) {  
urls.push(photos\*.attributes.url);  
captions.push(photos\*.attributes.caption);  
}  
holder.loadMovie(urls[0]);  
caption.text = captions[0];  
whoIsOn = 0;  
}

x.load(“lost.xml”);

previous.onRelease = function() {  
if(whoIsOn \> 0) {  
whoIsOn–;  
holder.loadMovie(urls[whoIsOn]);  
caption.text = captions[whoIsOn];  
}  
}

next.onRelease = function() {  
if(whoIsOn \< urls.length-1) {  
whoIsOn++;  
holder.loadMovie(urls[whoIsOn]);  
caption.text = captions[whoIsOn];  
}  
}
