Hello,

I am trying to load an external swf (which, come to find out, does not include the background color of the loaded swf) into a movieclip. It seems to be pretty easy. But the movieclip I am loading it into is smaller than the swf I am loading. Is there a way to specify size parameters? In other words, is there a way to scale the swf down so that it fits into the movieclip? Any other suggestions are welcome also.

Thanks in advance, MH

```auto

var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
mcHolder.addChild(swfLoader);
var bgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("0301_objectives2.swf");
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadProdComplete);
swfLoader.load(bgURL);
function loadProdComplete(e:Event):void {
trace("file loaded");
}

```
