Hi,

On scene, I have a movieclip with several movieclips in it.  
Depending on some options the outer window(the first movieclip) should be able to resize and fill up with more movieclips.  
Now, the problem that I have is that when I resize the movieclip on scene, the inner movieclips resize with it.  
How can I prevent them from resizing with their parent?

Best regards
