This is my first effort at creating a Flash site so please be kind!!! I’m using an action script to import some jpeg images into a movie. The images are 4x6 at 72ppi and when imported they do not fit into the box on the screen, they are way too large. Is there a way to scale the images down either by using a percent factor or by some other means? I’m using Flash CS3.

Thanks very much…

Tom
